Beautiful Liar
Common Kings Lyrics

Seven in the morning
It's the morning and the girl is likely waking up.

As you stay close to the bed
She is still lying in bed and not moving much.

Let alone up on the dress
She hasn't even gotten dressed yet.

She burns her mind
She is struggling mentally and emotionally with something.

She should take it to the sad man
Maybe she should talk to a therapist or a counselor.

On the red light pull up bar
Perhaps she is on the street corner waiting for something.

The only way to fight the scars
To heal, one must face and acknowledge their pain and trauma.

Is through the light
Going through this process will bring previously hidden or repressed issues to light.

I see her falling down
The artist sees the girl struggling and spiraling downwards.

Reach out and take her away, away
The artist wants to help her or take her away from her current situation, perhaps symbolically or physically.

I should have told you
The singer is admitting they made a mistake and should have done something differently but didn't.

But I love a beautiful liar
Despite knowing the girl is not truthful or honest, the artist still has feelings for her.

I know that I fooled us
The singer is acknowledging that their relationship has flaws and has been impacted by deceit.

I know her mind is alive
Despite the girl's issues or flaws, the singer recognizes that she is still present and actively thinking or processing things.

When she sells us all a lie
The singer knows the girl is being dishonest and may try to manipulate others.

Now I should have told you
This is a repetition of a previous line, reinforcing the artist's inner dialogue or confession.

When the sun is dreamin
This line is open to interpretation but could suggest a type of dreamlike or surreal scenario.

Are ya demon slowing gray
Again, open to interpretation but could imply darker or oppressive forces at play.

As I lying on my chair
The singer is relaxing or sitting down somewhere.

I know your ties
The artist knows something about the girl, possibly a secret or a tie to something important.

See I know that you're broken
The artist understands the girl is struggling and dealing with emotional pain.

But I'm broken just like you
The artist shares or empathizes with the girl's struggles and pain.

Before your heart turn to stone
The singer wants to help the girl before she becomes hardened or jaded by her experiences.

We don't think you are alone
The artist wants the girl to know she is not alone and others care about her.

Killa swag, killa swag that's your sick nest
This line is unclear but could be interpreted as slang or jargon to describe the girl's personality, attitude, or appearance.

Makes me feel, makes me feel so much better
Perhaps the girl's swag or energy has a positive impact on the singer's mood or emotions.

Know I shouldn't do this
The singer is once again admitting they are aware their actions are not appropriate or healthy.

I know that I am foolish
The artist is aware their behavior is foolish or reckless but unable to stop.

But I love a beautiful liar
Reinforcing the previous theme of loving someone despite their dishonesty.

I know her life is a lie
The girl is living in a way that isn't truthful or authentic.

Beautiful
The singer is acknowledging the girl's beauty.

Beautiful
Echoing the previous line's sentiment.

Liar
The artist is addressing the girl's dishonesty and connecting it with their feelings for her.
