Below, you will find the lyrics for River by Eminem.
What does love mean to you?
I have wanted to be with you
Whether he was in the picture or not
Why? Because I'm Eminem?
How would you describe your relationship with men?
Hate you
You know, she broke my heart
I think I broke hers too
My personal life is not exactly highlight reel
You have the trust element
If a
I've been a liar, been a thief
Been a lover, been a cheat
All my sins need holy water
Feel it washin' over me
A little one
I don't want to admit to something
If all it's gonna cause is pain
Truth in my lies right now are falling like the rain
So let the river run
He's coming home with his neck scratched to catch flack
Sweat jackets and dress slacks
Mismatch
On his breast jackets is sex addict
And she just wants to exact revenge and get back
It's a chess match
She's on his back like a jetpack
She's kept track of all his internet chats
And guess who just happens to be moving on to the next?
Actually, just shit on my last chick
And she has what my ex lacks
'Cause she loves danger
Psychopath
And you don't with no man's girl
Even I know that
But she's devised some plan to stab him in the back
Knife in hand
Says the relationship's hanging by a strand
So she's been on the web lately
Says maybe she'll be my Gwen Stacy
To spite her man
And I know she's using me to try to play him
I don't care, hi Suzanne
But I shoulda said 'Bye Suzanne'
After the first night, but tonight I am
I've been a liar, been a thief
Been a lover, been a cheat
All my sins need holy water
Feel it washin' over me
A little one
I don't want to admit to something
If all it's gonna cause is pain
The truth in my lies now are falling like the rain
So let the river run
Hi
Say 'hey'
How are you doin'?
I'm good
I missed you
I've got spot over here
Really?
What are we doin'?
I'm videotaping
Why?
Because why not?
Ought to document our life, right?
Marshall is
Everything that my husband wasn't
Tell us about your pretty much recent wife Sue
Man, how much time we got?
You know
You don't know Trevor?
No, I don't know who Trevor is
I'm sorry
You beautiful
A one-night stand
Turned a two-night stand
It was 'come sunlight, scram'
Now we hug tight and
He found out
Now she feels deserted and used
'Cause he left
So what? He did it first to her too
Now how am I supposed to tell this girl that we're through?
It's hard to find the words
I'm aloof, nervous and suited
When it's too hurt but what you deserve is the truth
Don't take it personal
I just can't say this in person to you
So I revert to the studio like Hole In The Wall diners
Don't have to be reserved in a booth
I just feel like the person who I'm turnin' into is
Irreversible, I preyed on you like it's church at the pew
And now that I got you I don't want you
Took advantage of my thirst to pursue
Why do I do this dirt that I do?
Get on my soapbox and preach
My sermon in speech
Detergent and bleach is burned in the womb
'Cause now with her in the womb
We can't bring her in this world
Shoulda knew to use protection
'Fore I bit into your forbidden fruit
I've been a liar, been a thief
Been a lover, been a cheat
All my sins need holy water
Feel it washin' over me
A little one
I don't want to admit to something
If all it's gonna cause is pain
The truth in my lies now are falling like the rain
So let the river run
My name's
My name's
Trevor
River run
Call me
Call me
River
We'll let the river run
How would you describe your relationship with Sue
I'm pregnant
Yo, yo
Drop this shit
Hi
How are you doin'?
I'm pregnant
Are you kidding me?
Are you sure this is right?
I'm sure it's right
I can't have a kid
I've already told we've already talked about this
Maybe this was supposed to happen for us
Maybe there's something more
Hold on, hold on, hold on to to
Listen
You're saying
You're saying 'us'
As in like we're together together
Like I thought we were just
Making out
You kidding me
You're involved in this too
You need to take responsibility for your own actions
You're so selfish
I'm selfish? Who How the am I selfish?
Because you're choosing you over
No, you told me
Life
You told me you couldn't get pregnant
Do you remember that?
Do you remember us
OK, well anyone could get pregnant
When you push your dick in me
We'll make a damn decision
You wanna stand here and scream at me?
I can scream at the top of my lungs if I want to
You and me did it together
That's it
We're not keeping this baby
Take it hold on
Hold on no, no, no, no
You brought me in here, right?
You wanna talk
She's pregnant?
Honestly, that is something that I really
I can't
And probably shouldn't get into
Always the bride's maid
Never 'The bride, hey'
Can I say?
If life was a highway
The sequel's an enclave
But be swerving in five lanes
Speeds that are high
Rave like I'm sliding on ice maybe
That's what I made
That came at you sideways
I can't keep my lies straight
What I made
You terminate my baby
This love triangle
Left us in a wreck tangled
What else can I say?
It was fun for a while
That I really woulda loved your smile
Didn't really wanna abort
But it, what's one more lie to tell an unborn child?
I've been a liar, been a thief
Been a lover, been a cheat
All my sins need holy water
Feel it washin' over me
A little one
I don't want to admit to something
If all it's gonna cause is pain
The truth in my lies now are falling like the rain
So let the river run
River run, river run
Just to explain to us a bit about what this song means to you
What this song means to me
Is something that I felt like I needed to get off my chest
