Love the Way You Lie - acoustic

I can't tell you what it really is
I can only tell you what it feels like
And, right now, there's a steel knife in my windpipe
I can't breathe, but I still fight while I can fight
As long as the wrong feels right, it's like I'm in flight
High off of love, drunk from my hate
It's like I'm huffin' paint, I love it the more I suffer, I suffocate
And right before I'm about to drown, she resuscitates me
She f- hates me, but I love it

Wait, where you going? I'm leaving you
No, you ain't, come back
We're runnin' right back, here we go again
It's so insane, 'cause when it's goin' good, it's goin' great
I'm Superman with the wind at his back, she's Lois Lane
But when it's bad, it's awful, I feel so ashamed
I snapped, "Who's that dude?," I don't even know his name
I laid hands on her, I'll never stoop so low again
I guess I don't know my own strength

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?
But that's alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

You ever loved somebody so much
You can barely breathe when you're with 'em?
You meet and neither one of you even knows what hit 'em
Got that warm fuzzy feelin', yeah, them chills you used to get 'em
Now you're gettin' freakin' sick of lookin' at 'em

You swore you'd never hit 'em, never do nothin' to hurt 'em
Now you're in each other's face
Spewin' venom in your words when you spit 'em
You push, pull each other's hair, scratch, claw, hit 'em
Throw 'em down, pin 'em, so lost in the moments when you're with 'em

It's the pain that took over, it controls you both
So they say you're best to go your separate ways
Guess that they don't know you
'Cause today, that was yesterday
Yesterday is over, it's a different day
Sound like broken records playin' over

But you promised her, next time you'll show restraint
You don't get another chance, life is no Nintendo game
But you lied again, now you get to watch her leave out the window
Guess that's why they call it window pain

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?
But that's alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

Now, I know we said things, did things that we didn't mean
Then we fall back into the same patterns, the same routine
But your temper's just as bad as mine is, you're the same as me
When it comes to love, you're just as blinded
Baby, please, come back, it wasn't you, maybe it was me
Maybe our relationship isn't as crazy as it seems
Maybe that's what happens when a tornado meets a volcano
All I know I love you way too much to walk away though

Come inside, pick up your bags off the sidewalk
Don't you hear sincerity in my voice when I talk?
Told you this was my fault, look me in the eyeball
Next time I'm pissed, I'll lay my fist against the drywall
Next time? There won't be a next time
I apologize even though I know it's lies
I'm tired of the game, I just want her back, I know I'm a liar
If she ever tries to freakin' leave again
I'ma tie her to the bed and set this house on fire

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?
But that's alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
