Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

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

Sing it again — final chorus

I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
