Skylar Grey - Love The Way You Lie, Pt. III Lyrics






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

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 love the way you lie

Now there's gravel in our voices
Glasses shattered from the fight
In this tug of war you always win
Even when I'm right
Cos 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

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 love the way you lie

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

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 love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

Skylar Grey Love The Way You Lie, Pt. III Comments
  1. K.... K....

    This song is how I feel about my significant other to the T....
    This was published one day after my birthday

  2. R.... A....

    Low key like this better than the one published ft Eminem bc this one is a one way feeling and it's more real not throwing shade but still

  3. S.... B....

    This is PART 1 in my book‼️‼️

  4. T.... I....

    Sounds 200x better on her voice

  5. �.... �....

    Forever alone 😭 💖💔😭😢

  6. C.... S....

    This is the only version of the song i know is good, since the actual song is unavailable for me

  7. R.... D....

    I liked her more back when she was Holly Brook

  8. W.... K....

    Nobody's heart deserves !it embraces

    W.... K....

    Light burns it+

    W.... K....

    Sun n all

  9. N.... F....

    2018?! 😅
    Amo esta canción *-*

  10. r.... ....

    I was like 15 when I made this video. Y’all leave my grammar alone! 😭😭😭😂😂😂

    r.... ....

    @Amateur Pianist Oh cool :), although, i'm 13 now.

    r.... ....

    I know an 18 year old who spells angel as angle so it's okay and a lot worse then that.

    r.... ....

    *EXTREMEMES.*

    r.... ....

    Don't worry, people made mistakes

  11. J.... R....

    ''And you take
    That to new
    Extrememes''

    Extrememes, so funny. Love your grammar. Not being rude just saying it's funny and you should keep it like that.

    J.... R....

    Jessica's Pixie Wonders lol I made this ages ago, so I’m definitely gonna keep it like that now, but that’s hilarious

    J.... R....

    rojah13 in the beginning the lyric also goes and this thing turned out so evil. Not this saint turned out so evil.

  12. S.... S....

    Does love the way u lie really have part 1 2 and 3 what a long song i like that its long tho i could listen to those somgs for eternity

  13. J.... N....

    Way better voice than Rihanna and more attractive with a natural beauty

  14. R.... l....

    Her voice is wow she should get more credits because she wrote this beautiful song and sang really 😍😍😍😍

  15. M.... C....

    Go Skylar Grey!😘

  16. K.... ....

    I believe Skylar Grey is very talented, as a writer and a singer. I personally prefer Rihanna's voice. (Though it may be autotuned, it still sounds good to me.) No hate to Skylar though, her singing is very good too. I like other songs sung by her a lot better. But I do believe Skylar deserves the credit for this song. Being a "Part III" doesn't feel right. More like "Part II (Original)" as it was originally wrote by her and didn't have the rap. (No hate to the rap, I love the story it tells and its power thats combined with Rihanna's singing). Skylar's story through this song was by her and it's beautiful and powerful and she deserves to be known that it's because of her. Rihanna's songs aren't able to match Skylar's in my opinion.

  17. F.... G....

    This is the secont part

  18. A.... M....

    I love all her somgs.

  19. S.... C....

    What's the difference between one and three? I know pt. 2 has eminem with her but one and three sound the same.

  20. A.... C....

    Anyone knows who are the 3 part? This are the part 2

  21. H.... k....

    this song make me want to cry because when I listen to this song it's make remember and miss someone that I know

  22. Z.... ....

    Anyone else cried listening to this?

  23. L.... A....

    Me: *Watches the song and waits for Eminem's part*

    song: *Has no Eminem*

    Me: Says... "How is there no Eminem"

    Song: Sorry bud

    Me: Says "I listened to this whole song and no Eminem???"

    Song: Yeah sorry bud

    Me: *Smashes phone*

  24. D.... B....

    Fuck Rihanna skylar.... Why did u ever sell ur shit to that fake bitch ur so much better

  25. E.... G....

    Its sad that people know this song by Rihanna, when Skylar wrote it. Its like they pushed Skylar away....

  26. H.... B....

    Anyone listening in 2017?

  27. E.... J....

    I'm glad you guys are seeing this on it really has a big impact on me because my mom passed away and every time I listen to the song I remember she's still with me and it whenever I listen to the song you guys see it always brings me up and I hope I have hope for you and the song sing I love you and you guys are the best and I can never remember who I first listened to my mom passed away and it's really good to see you and have you play the song You are a big life changer for me and I'm really grateful that I have someone who I can just listen to the music and it's always good to hear your voice and yeah I love you you guys are the best and your producers who produced the song I'm glad they

  28. a.... w....

    skylar grey & blackbear

  29. E.... ....

    am I seriously the only one that prefers Rihanna?

  30. L.... L....

    I love how she sings her voice is so soft bur still so good at the same time

  31. A.... V....

    I love this part way better than Rihanna not saying Rihanna bad just the fact that this one sounds better if u are trying to calm down because there is no rap and not rhiannas voice😜

    A.... V....

    did you reply to yourself?

  32. A.... J....

    if you going to put up a music video with lyrics, at least have ZERO TYPOS and WORD/PHRASING errors,,,,,,,,----> extremes, NOT extrememes,,,,,,, tug of war, NOT talk of war, etc. UDUMBASS

  33. R.... ....

    this is part 2

  34. O.... C....

    ugh Its 2 stupid shes pointless

  35. I.... R....

    All of Skylar Greys music is so peace full to listen to. I can fall asleep to it

  36. c.... ....

    Her voice gives me shivers (in a good way), especially the first and second verse between the chorus, where she sings in a lower tone and a bit gravely which is extremely sexy.

    Found out about this version last week and this much more heartfelt and personal. I love Em & Rihanna in general and I understand that their version got more publicity and sales but still, they kind of butchered it to a traditional pop song by feeding it to some POPTRON 3000 machine that shat out Em&rihanna version, with full "band playing" and autotune to some extent of course.

  37. V.... ....

    skylar grey wrote the original wrong, she gave it to rihanna

  38. P.... ....

    I hope you realise this is Skylars song and Em only got Ri to do part one cause she's bigger. In return Skylar was promised part 2 and I need a doctor.

  39. M.... K....

    Skylar grey has alot more talent then Rihanna and the rest of the sell outs, shes a hell of alot more beautiful both visually and vocally, nd she puts more heart into her singing. Just watching her in interviews nd shit u can tell shes a very genuine heart felt person nd that's the kind of person I would rather see up on the stage

  40. A.... x....

    SINCE WHEN IS THERE A PART 2 AND 3 WHERE HAVE I BEEN

    A.... x....

    Part 3 is sang Skylar Grey, who wrote the songs. Part 2 is really a remix of the original. The original didn't become official, but this is basically the original: part 2 without the rap added in by Eminem.

  41. M.... R....

    It's not a cover, she fucking created this shit!

    M.... R....

    Thank you!

  42. G.... W....

    She has such a great voice I love how she sang it

  43. M.... W....

    Okay so I wasn't a huge fan of the original and then this happened and it's AWESOME :D

    M.... W....

    Probably because this is the original writer and the other is by people interpreting the best they can. This is basically the original that didnt get to be original.

  44. F.... ....

    I'm so torn....
    Rihanna did her version, Skylar did hers...
    Fuck it I'm buying both

    F.... ....

    LMAO SAME

  45. M.... Z....

    ❤️ skylars voice!!!

  46. A.... B....

    Extreme Memes - pepe approves

  47. R.... K....

    Eh I see what you did there with New Extrememes

  48. I.... D....

    Ugh, this is the second part, not the third, i guess

  49. a.... ....

    FOUND IT.

  50. A.... P....

    0:34 Extrememes XD hahahahahahahahaha

    A.... P....

    oml xDD how did i not see that before lmao

    A.... P....

    when the memes so dank it transforms and injects itself to a song

    A.... P....

    Extre*memes*

  51. A.... R....

    I love this

  52. E.... M....

    It's tug of war not talk of war

    E.... M....

    Erika Miriam it's a version of the song not a cover

  53. r.... ....

    This voice gave me chills. 😫

  54. �.... ....

    At first I was uncomfortable with her voice but I'm getting used to it and now I think she sings very nicely... I will never hear the song 'Love the way you lie' same again

  55. F.... B....

    @rojah13, this is a great song. It helps me through life having lost both of our children. I have a tattoo " even angels have there wicked schemes" :(

  56. N.... S....

    More emotion, some say? All I hear is her struggling to hit the high notes. She was better in the coming home part 2. In that one she actually adds creative lines. I like the riana version better. To me that one really shows the pain and intense mood of the entire situation, unlike this one which makes it seem as not much of a big deal aside from slight heartbreak... After hearing the coming home part 2 she did I really expected more from her... Sorry. It's just my opinion.

    N.... S....

    I dont see how Rihanna showed more emotion than the original writer that the feelings originally came from. But i guess people see things differently.

  57. X.... H....

    Who else here thinks she has a soft voice when she sings

  58. L.... A....

    its full of repitition... -.-

  59. T.... B....

    is skylar wrote it and rihanna sang it?

  60. K.... m....

    no she wrote the song for Eminem and Rihanna ended up doing the chorus

  61. G.... G....

    recuerdos

  62. 2.... U....

    This is an amazing version of LTWYL.

    2.... U....

    +2112mary Skylar wrote it, this is the original.

  63. S.... W....

    WHY IS THIS PART 3?!?!?! This is the original!

  64. D.... B....

    Skylar should've just fucking done both parts she adds more emotion to me, but everybody has their opinion.

    D.... B....

    +Donovan Brant try her other song, "Words"

  65. M.... C....

    This is part 2

    M.... C....

    +xXSimocraft GamerXx hahahahahahhahahahhahaa omg

  66. x.... ....

    Skylar wasn't the co-writer she was the originally writer..she just gave the song to Rihanna. This version of Love The Way You Lie is Skylars she was the original artist. Rihanna's version that she sang with Eminem was just a crappy version she made.

  67. c.... ....

    that awkward moment when someone else sings your song better than you, rihanna.

    c.... ....

    Its Skylar's song she wrote it and gave it to Rihanna soooo....

    c.... ....

    Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks! C:

  68. R.... :....

    the way she sings this song made me cry when i first heard this this is my favorite song

  69. c.... c....

    Her Story behind this is so so scary and just surprising. Look her up on celebrity ghost stories. The most weird and what seems so impossible but yet true story I've ever heard

  70. S.... D....

    love this song

  71. D.... U....

    part 2*

  72. A.... G....

    I love this song so much!!!! It reminds me of Newt (from the maze runner) <3 😘😍

  73. J.... G....

    Just my opinion but compared to rihanna she sounded like drowning rats so it was pure shite

    J.... G....

    You need to get your ears checked. Compared to this Rihannas voice sounds like a mouse in a garbage disposal. To be honest Rihanna sounds like that when compared to anyone or anything. Thats just my opinion.

  74. h.... s....

    -_- this is still Rihanna just cause you say part three dont mean it skylar grey i love her but still

    h.... s....

    anyway there is no 3 its 2 look it up!

    h.... s....

    i really hope youre kidding ._.

    h.... s....

    Actually, skylar grey is the original writer for the song. It's common knowledge.

    h.... s....

    @hailey spurlock Look it up. Skylar is the original writer. In the beginning of the video it even says it was her original demo...

    h.... s....

    If you think Rihanna writes even half of the songs she sings. You need to be educated. Lol.

  75. M.... S....

    Pretty sure this isn't part 3?

  76. H.... D....

    She just sounds like Christini Perri, her voice just always makes me relaxed with Christini Perri, it will be so perfect with those two.

    H.... D....

    omg that's what I thought! They should do a song together!

    H.... D....

    Han Duong Ugh idk if they compare or not but Christine's voice gets easily annoying for me. It annoys me so much but Skylar's voice doesn't.

  77. P.... K....

    but if this was hers why did rihanna sing it?

    P.... K....

    @Preeti K Because Rihanna is more famous.

    P.... K....

    Because she wanted Rihanna to sing it

    P.... K....

    @AngelGirl3452 I thought Rihanna did it first, because Rihanna did part 1. Are you serious?

    P.... K....

    Gabe Anderson No. This is originally Skylar's song.

    P.... K....

    It happens all the time in the music industry. An artist writes a song and for whatever reason they let someone else sing it. Skylar wrote this song originally, Eminem heard it and wrote a rap around the hook and then had Rihanna sing the hook in his official version. And then Rihanna sang this version as part 2. But all of it came to be because of this version right here, the one that Skylar wrote.

  78. D.... p....

    Im with you tyrnex

  79. e.... s....

    eminem gave permission to skylar before he did to rihanna

    e.... s....

    Skylar wrote the song and gave it to Rihanna and Eminem.

    e.... s....

    I don't know why, personally I like this one better.

  80. e.... s....

    eminem gave permission to skylar before he did to rihanna

  81. A.... ....

    I'm a man and was able to match her pitch for the entirety of her song!!

    A.... ....

    I wish my range was like that, Like @Siriusly Ironic  said, That is very impressive.  

    A.... ....

    @Lucas Harper imma make a cover

    A.... ....

    +Lucas Harper “The Alpha Wolf” Then you are the next Justin Bieber

    A.... ....

    No one cares

    A.... ....

    vocal lessons? I'm a 38 yr old male and can match it as well but I can also go from this to guttural vocals for the likes of metal to death core (kind of like Tasters - Please Destroy This World). I thank my 17yr old son for being a good sport and helping me keep up to date.

  82. V.... ....

    "her version of it sounds better than Rihanna's." why people have to say things like that like it's the entire truth? It's an opinion not the truth. I personally prefer the Rihanna's one but i'm not gonna say "Rihanna is so much better", it's just a question of taste. You can say one is better when the singer is bad, but Rihanna and Skylar have both great voice. I just prefer the thing in Rihanna's voice that make her unique than Skylar's voice. Stop saying ur preferences are universal, they are not. (sorry for my english, i'm french!)

  83. C.... S....

    Funny, but I swear this sounds like Skylar Grey...

    C.... S....

    @***** Um...Are you sure? 

    C.... S....

    @Conner Slater It....it literally says it....in the video, in the title...in the comments.......wut... ._.

    C.... S....

    Haha what?

  84. t.... ....

    Way better than Rihanna, she's garbage

    t.... ....

    True, this is much better!

  85. D.... T....

    HOLY ____ THAT GIRL WAS RIGHT D:

  86. A.... G....

    How is the Part 3 ? Lmao, it's the same exact thing from part 2 ....

    A.... G....

    Part 3 has no rap part, and is a different singer.

    A.... G....

    shes the one who wrote the song aside from eminem's verse in the 2 other parts

  87. �.... ....

    天灰灰

  88. I.... N....

    The initial lines are  so very  beautiful,..it shows immense love of a girl toward her love...though he has gone mad...i just love skylar grey for writing such beautiful lyics...:)

  89. T.... s....

    Isnt it a rihanna & eminem song ????

    T.... s....

    Technically, it's all three of their song. Skylar wrote Rihanna's parts for parts 1 and 2. And then she released her own version. 

  90. A.... W....

    This is just an amazing song. I love this. I listen to it when I'm sad. She's such a wonderful artist. 

  91. N.... ....

    I let her ride my bicycle ne day no lie

  92. t.... t....

    Omg I was thinking the same!

  93. m.... a....

    Hessa! :)

  94. T.... K....

    I think she has a way better voice than Rihannas version. Gigidy goo allllllright.

  95. R.... T....

    who sanged first??? Rihanna or skylar grey ? confused

  96. M.... ....

    much better.
