Bad Liar
Anna Hamilton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And terrors don't prey on innocent victims
Trust me, darlin', trust me darlin'
Hmm-mm
It's been a loveless year
I'm a man of three fears
Integrity, faith and crocodile tears
Hmm-mm
So look me in the eyes, tell me what you see?
Perfect paradise, tearin' at the seams
I wish I could escape, I don't wanna fake it
Wish I could erase it, make your heart believe
But I'm a bad liar, bad liar
Now you know, now you know
That I'm a bad liar, bad liar
Now you know, you're free to go
All my dreams never mean one thing?
Does happiness lie in a diamond ring?
Oh, I've been askin' for
I've been askin' for problems, problems
Ooh-ooh, ooh
I wage my war, on the world inside
I take my gun to the enemy's side
Oh, I've been askin' for
I've been askin' for problems, problems
So look me in the eyes, tell me what you see
Perfect paradise, tearin' at the seams
I wish I could escape, I don't wanna fake it
Wish I could erase it, make your heart believe
But I'm a bad liar, bad liar
Now you know, now you know
That I'm a bad liar, bad liar
Now you know, you're free to go
I can't breathe, I can't be
I can't be what you want me to be
Believe me, this one time
Believe me
I'm a bad liar, bad liar
Now you know, now you know
That I'm a bad liar, bad liar
Now you know, you're free to go
Hmm
Believe me
The song "Bad Liar" by Anna Hamilton is a reflection of the struggles of a relationship built on lies. The lyrics start off with the singer asking for understanding from the person she is addressing. She explains that it has been a difficult year and that she is not an innocent victim. However, she still asks for the person's trust. The next verse reveals the reason for the difficult year – it has been loveless, and the singer is a man of three fears – integrity, faith, and insincerity. She once again asks for trust, despite her admission that she is a bad liar.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the point that the singer is not truthful. She wishes she could erase the lies and make the other person believe that everything is perfect, but she admits that she is a bad liar. Towards the end of the song, the singer acknowledges that she can't be everything the other person wants her to be. She asks the person to believe her just this one time before once again acknowledging that she is a bad liar. In the end, the person is free to go, having found out the truth about the singer's dishonesty.

Oh, hush, my dear, it's been a difficult year
It's been a year without love, and I've been struggling with 3 fears - honesty, faith, and fake tears
And terrors don't prey on innocent victims
I'm not afraid of anything other than my own internal battles
Trust me, darlin', trust me darlin'
Believe me when I say I'm not hiding anything from you
Hmm-mm
I'm contemplating my situation
So look me in the eyes, tell me what you see?
I'm asking you to take a closer look at me and see what I'm really feeling
Perfect paradise, tearin' at the seams
I try to look perfect, but I'm really struggling inside
I wish I could escape, I don't wanna fake it
I want to run away from my problems, but I don't want to pretend to be happy anymore
Wish I could erase it, make your heart believe
I want to fix things and make you believe that everything is okay
But I'm a bad liar, bad liar
I'm not good at hiding my true emotions
Now you know, now you know
You have finally realized the truth about me
That I'm a bad liar, bad liar
I can't keep pretending anymore
Now you know, you're free to go
Now that you know the real me, you can leave if you want
All my dreams never mean one thing?
I'm starting to question everything I've been working towards
Does happiness lie in a diamond ring?
I'm unsure if material things will bring me happiness
Oh, I've been askin' for
I've been looking for trouble
I've been askin' for problems, problems
And that's exactly what I've found
I wage my war, on the world inside
I'm fighting a battle within myself
I take my gun to the enemy's side
I'm fighting against myself
So look me in the eyes, tell me what you see
I need you to understand my struggles
But I'm a bad liar, bad liar
Once again, I can't hide my true feelings
I can't breathe, I can't be
I feel suffocated and trapped
I can't be what you want me to be
I'm struggling to live up to your expectations
Believe me, this one time
Please understand me just this once
Believe me
Trust me and believe me

Your Skin Isn't.A Paper Don't Cut It.
Your Face Isn't A Mask.Don't Cover It.
Your Neck Isn't A Hanger. Don't Hang It
Your Life Isn't A Film. Don't End It.
You're Not Pretty. Because You're Beautiful.
The World Doesn't Have A Place For You.Because The
World Has A Special Place For You.
No One Likes You.Because
We All Love You.
You Don't Want To Die You Just Want The Pain To End.
The World Can Be Cruel But You Are Strong.
There Is Only One You In This Universe.
You're Special In Your Own Way.
That What Makes You Different.
Being Different Isn't Bad Thing.
It Shows that You Are Creative Than The Ones Who Judge You For Who You Are.
You Might Not Be Pretty In The Outside But You're Beautiful In The Inside.
You Might Feel Useless,But Little Do You Know You Have Something That The Rest Of Us Don't.
God Bought You Here For A Reason.
You Have A Mission To Complete In This World.
The Ones Who Judge You,Are Teaching You Something.
They Are Teaching You Not To Be Like Them.Stay Strong.
I Know Probably No One Will Read This,But If You Do Don't Let Anyone EVER Take Your Happiness Away.
This Is Not Mine,But You can Spread It :)

Your hand is not a paper"
Don't cut it
"Your mouth is not a cloth"
Don't stitch it
"Your neck is not a hanger"
Don't hang it
"Your body is not your enemy"
Don't blame it
"Your heart is not a glass"
Don't break it
"Your life is not a film"
Don't end it
"Your heart is not a house"
Don't lock it
"Your life is not a cloth"
Don't change it
"You're not pretty"
Cause your beautiful
"They don't want you"
Cause they need you
"They don't like you"
Cause they love you
"The world doesn't have a place for you"
Cause the world has a special place for you
