Colton Dixon
Love the Way You Lie (American Idol Performance)
[Verse 1]
On the first page of our story
The future seemed so bright
Then the saint turned out so evil
I don't know why I'm still surprised
Even angels have their wicked schemes
And you take that to new extremes
But you'll always be my hero
Even though you've lost your mind

[Chorus]
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn?
Well, that's all right because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry?
That's all right because I love the way you liе
I love the way you lie

[Verse 2]
Now thеre's gravel in our voices
Glasses shattered from the fight
In this tug of war, you always win
Even when I'm right
'Cause you feed me fables from your head
With violent words and empty threats
And it's sick that all these battles
Are what keeps me satisfied
[Chorus]
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn?
Well, that's all right because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry?
That's all right because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

[Bridge]
So maybe I'm a masochist
I try to run, but I don't wanna ever leave
'Til the walls are going up
In smoke with all our memories
Our memories, oh

[Chorus]
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn?
Well, that's all right because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry?
That's all right because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie, lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
