Eminem - Love The Way You Lie ft. Rihanna

I love this song and I've been listening to it over and over for 2 or 3 days now. During one of these times it hit me just how true this song actually is to my most recent heartache, I mean not the whole song... Let me explain.

   "Just gonna stand there and watch me burn? That's alright because I like the way it hurts. Just gonna stand there and hear me cry? That's alright because I love the way you lie, love the way you lie.." 

Funny thing about music or really any art is that it can be taken differently by each person and can be changed by the same person for different situations. 

Here's the situation:  (forgive me I may not be able to fully describe any of this in a way that makes perfect sense)

   The guy sits back and watches as everything he's said and done causes the woman to fall for him, he knows perfectly good and well what he's done (matter a fact he's done this several times before) Now the guy never hears or sees her cry, but he knows it happens, he knows she cries over him. Even with her knowing he lies and even with her intuition telling her he's a no good piece of trash she's fallen for him its too late. Hurt after hurt. Lie after lie. Month after month. Chance after chance. She's learned the truth, she can see it even though she doesn't want to... Enough explaining.



Even knowing it was lies I loved the lies he fed me. They were beautiful, enchanting, they draw you in. That's how they do it, you know? They tell you ALL those beautiful hopes and dreams you've had about them, allow you to picture a future, get what they want, and ruin you all before they leave you. The lies were so attractive that you could say I liked the way it hurt to "burn" for him. They were so mesmerizing even crying and knowing the truth I couldn't stay away.

Not that I loved being lied to, but as I said the lies are beautiful. They get you to picture yourself in a happy relationship with them, living with them, sharing a life with them,...

So yes, I love the way he lied... because I loved the way it looked
