Liar
?? ??? Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tall tale, such a damn shame
Hindsight, I can see it all so plain
Kamikaze fire come down
Fire come down, fire-fire come down
Left, right, nowhere to turn
I'm left in the ash from the bridges you burned
Kamikaze fire come down
Fire come down, fire-fire come down

(Ah) It's too late for apologies
(Ah) Nothing you can offer me now
(Ah) I'm looking at you on your knees
(Ah) And I'm all listened out

Call, call, call
But I'm never gonna come
Baby cry, cry, cry
You ain't fooling anyone
You know I know that you know I know
That you're a liar, a liar
You can crawl, crawl, crawl
You can beg and you can bleed
Baby talk, talk, talk
Keep on lying through your teeth
You know I know that you know I know
That you're a liar, a liar

I hear you all night talk in your sleep
Saying all kinda names but none of them me
Keeping secrets under your sheets
Under you sheets, under-under your sheets
You can cry wolf
But you know I ain't gonna be here tomorrow, oh no
I ain't fucking with your dirty, dirty, dirty laundry
Dirty laundry, dirty-dirty laundry

(Ah) It's too late for apologies
(Ah) Nothing you can offer me now
(Ah) I'm looking at you on your knees
(Ah) And I'm all listened out

Call, call, call
But I'm never gonna come
Baby cry, cry, cry
You ain't fooling anyone
You know I know that you know I know
That you're a liar, a liar
You can crawl, crawl, crawl
You can beg and you can bleed
Baby talk, talk, talk
Keep on lying through your teeth
You know I know that you know I know
That you're a liar, a liar

So here we go
Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo
Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo
So here we go
Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo
Here we go (You're a liar, liar)

You can call, call, call
But I'm never gonna come
Baby cry, cry, cry
You ain't fooling anyone
You know I know that you know I know
That you're a liar, a liar
You can crawl, crawl, crawl
You can beg and you can bleed
Baby talk, talk, talk
Keep on lying through your teeth
You know I know that you know I know
That you're a liar, a liar

So here we go
Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo
Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo




Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo
You're a liar, a liar

Overall Meaning

The song Liar by Camila Cabello is a powerful expression of feeling betrayed and deceived by someone close. The lyrics describe the aftermath of a revelation about the lies and secrets someone has been keeping. The song opens with the image of a "tall tale," something that seems too good to be true but is revealed to be false. The singer then reflects on how she can see things more clearly now, and how the person's destructive behavior has left her with nowhere to turn. The repeated image of a "kamikaze fire" suggests the intensity and ultimate self-destruction of the behavior that has hurt the singer.


The chorus of the song is a defiant refusal to listen to any more explanations or apologies. The singer has reached her limit and knows that nothing the other person can say or do will make things right. She has seen through the lies, and it's clear that the other person is not fooling anyone but themselves. The bridge of the song focuses on the intimacy of the relationship that has been damaged, with the singer hearing the other person talking in their sleep and keeping secrets hidden away.


Overall, Liar is a powerful expression of the pain of betrayal and the decision to cut ties with someone who has been lying and deceiving. The song's imagery and repetition help to reinforce the intensity of the singer's emotions and her determination to move on.
