I know I'm a liar, if she ever tries to fucking leave again
I'mma tie her to the bed and set this house on fire

from Eminem (Ft. Rihanna) – Love the Way You Lie Lyrics on Rap Genius

Ending the verse with an arson threat ties in nicely with Rihanna’s hook: “just gonna stand there and watch me burn”

Perhaps this scene harkens to the 1970s film The Burning Bed, based on the true story of Francine Hughes, in which a wife kills a husband by burning the house down while he’s sleeping (I guess the gender tables have turned!)
