Tune Tuesday: “Love the Way You Lie” Cover by Colton Dixon

Every Tuesday here at TMI Source is Tune Tuesday,  where we share a song that relates to The Mortal Instruments, The Infernal Devices or The Dark Artifices.

This week’s Tune Tuesday is inspired by the complicated relationship between Maia and Jordan as Maia sees it in ‘City of Ashes.’

“Love the Way You Lie” Cover by Colton Dixon

Here are some memorable lyrics:

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

Lyrics:

“Love the Way You Lie” Cover by Colton Dixon

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
Ohhh, 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
’cause you feed me fables from your hand
with violent words and empty threats
and it’s sick that all these battles
are what keeps me satisfied

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

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
I love the way you lie

Love the way you lie

    OMG! When I was reading City of Fallen Angels one of my friends told me to listen to this song ( which was only the Rihana and Eminem version) and when U went home and listened to it I was like “OMG! This is so Maia’s song!” I just love Maia and Jordan soo much!

  2. This song is all around perfect for the whole entire city of lost souls. From maia and Jordan to jace, clary, and Sebastian to Simon and iz and Alec and Magnus… Ect… This song is litterally the books theme song!!
