I think these two paint the picture perfectly. Of course they do, he is an addict and she is a codependent in real life. I edited the cuss words and a few of the graphic lines of course. He plays the addict, and she plays his wife or girlfriend in the song. I found so much truth in these words. You see, Its so easy for me to romanticise my situation, and not see manipulation for what it is. The addict in this song throws every trick in the book at her, and she falls for it, every time.

"Love the way you lie"
Eminem and Rhianna

[Her]
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But 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

[Him]
I can't tell you what it really is
I can only tell you what it feels like
And right now it'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 huffing paint
and I love it the more I suffer I suffocate
And right before I'm about to drown,
she resuscitates me
She really hates me and I love it.
Wait! Where you going?
"I'm leaving you"
No you ain't.
Come back
we're running right back.
Here we go again
It's so insane cause when it's going good,
it's going 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

[Her]
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But 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

[Him]
You ever love somebody so much you can barely breathe
When you're with 'em
You meet and neither one of you even know what hit 'em
Got that warm fuzzy feeling
Yeah, them chills you used to get 'em
Now you're getting really sick of looking at 'em
You swore you'd never hit 'em;
never do nothing to hurt 'em
Now you're in each other's face spewing venom in your words when you spit them
...
...
So lost in the moments when you're in them
It's the rage that took over it controls you both
So they say you're best to go your separate ways
Guess if they don't know you
'cause today that was yesterday
Yesterday is over, it's a different day
Sound like broken records playing over
but you promised her
Next time you 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"

[Her]
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But 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

[Him]
Now I know we said things,
did things that we didn't mean
And we fall back into the same patterns, same routine
But your temper's just as bad as mine is
You're the same as me
But when it comes to love you're just as blinded
Baby, please come back
It wasn't you, baby 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 is I love you 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 is my fault
Look me in the eyeball
Next time I'm pissed...
Next time? There won't be no next time!
I apologize even though I know its lies
I'm tired of the games
I just want her back
I know I'm a liar
