Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But if you don't say what you are thinkin'
No, I won't take too kindly to it.
And all I want is something special,
And you can't give it to me,
And all you do is lie to me,
'Cause you're a liar, liar, liar.
I will run, I will fight,
I will take you through the night lie, lie, liar,
I will run, I will fight,
I will take you through the night lie, lie, liar...
Say it if you want to,
And say it if you choose
But if you don't say what you are thinkin'
No I won't take too kindly to it
When all I want is something different
And you could't give it to me
And all you do is lie to me
So you're a liar, liar, liar.
I will run, I will fight,
I will take you through the night lie, lie, liar,
I will run, I will fight,
I will take you through the night lie, lie, liar...
I'll fight you, I'll fight you
I'm fighing you
Liar, liar, liar
You know you're a liar,
Liar...
The lyrics of "Liar" by Cranberries are a daring and unapologetic message to someone who has been untruthful to the singer.

The chorus, with repeated references to the person being a liar, drives home the point. The song continues to say that the singer desires something that is different and special, but the person they're calling out is unable to provide it and continues to lie. The bridge repeats "I'll fight you", making it clear that the singer is done with the dishonesty but is still willing to fight for what they want.
The tone and lyrics of the song are assertive and confident, with a strong sense of self-preservation. The lyrics are straightforward, with no apologies or attempts to mask the true feelings of anger and betrayal. The repetitive chorus emphasizes the important point of the song, making it clear that any lies or deception will not be tolerated. The song concludes with a final repetition of "liar" to drive home the point and emphasize that the singer is finished with the dishonesty.
