You gonna stand there and watch me burn

Eminem 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 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 you gonna stand there and watch me burn flight High off her love, drunk from her hate, It's like I'm huffing paint and I love her the more I suffer, I suffocate And right before I'm about to drown, she resuscitates me She fucking hates me and I love it. Where you going?

The singer and songwriter Skylar Grey wrote and recorded a demo of the song alongside the producer Alex da Kid when she felt she was in an abusive romantic relationship with the music industry. Eminem wrote the verses and chose Rihanna to sing the chorus, resulting in a collaboration influenced by their past experiences in difficult relationships. Recording sessions were held in Ferndale, Michigan , and Dublin, Ireland. Backed by guitar, piano and violin, the track is a midtempo hip-hop ballad with a pop refrain, sung by Rihanna, and describes two lovers who refuse to separate despite being in a dangerous abusive relationship. Interscope Records released the song in June as the second single from Recovery. Critics praised its melody but were divided on its thematic aspects such as poignancy and accuracy.

You gonna stand there and watch me burn

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn? Well, that's alright, because I like the way it hurts Just gonna stand there and hear me cry? Well, that's alright, because I love the way you lie I love the way you lie. 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 her love, drunk from her hate It's like I'm huffing paint And I love her the more I suffer, I suffocate And right before I'm about to drown, she resuscitates me She fucking 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 him, I'll never stoop so low again I guess I don't know my own strength. Well, that's alright, because I love the way you lie 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 know what hit 'em Got that warm fuzzy feelin' Yeah, them chills used to get 'em Now you're gettin' fucking sick of looking 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, bit them Throw 'em down, pin 'em So lost in the moments when you're in them. It's the rage that took over, it controls you both So they say it's best to go your separate ways Guess that they don't know ya 'Cause today, that was yesterday Yesterday is over, it's a different day Sound like broken records playing over.

On the first page of our story The future seemed so bright Then this thing 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. Just gonna stand there and watch me burn But that's all right because I like the way it hurts Just gonna stand there and hear me cry But that's all right because I love the way you lie I love the way you lie Ooh, I love the way you lie. Now there's gravel in our voices Glass is shattered from the fight In this tug of war, you'll always win Even when I'm right. So maybe I'm a masochist I try to run, but I don't wanna ever leave Til the walls are goin' up In smoke with all our memories. This morning, you wake, a sunray hits your face Smeared makeup as we lay in the wake of destruction Hush baby, speak softly, tell me you're awfully sorry That you pushed me into the coffee table last night So I can push you off me. Try and touch me, so I can scream at you not to touch me Run out the room, and I'll follow you like a lost puppy Baby, without you, I'm nothing, I'm so lost, hug me Then tell me how ugly I am, but that you'll always love me Then after that, shove me, in the aftermath of the Destructive path that we're on, two psychopaths but we Know that no matter how many knives we put in each other's backs That we'll have each other's backs, 'cause we're that lucky.

This song is not only about Eminem's relationship with Kim, but about bad and abusive relationships in general. Better yet, the ups and downs of relationships in general. First let's look at the choice in a featured singer. Now, don't get me wrong Rhianna is a fantastic singer and he could have chosen her based on just her voice, but why for this song? Everybody knows about Rhianna's abusive relationship with Chris Brown and Eminem and Rhianna are playing off of that.
