Victim Liar
Crash Romeo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We'll never make it out of here
And all you did was try
By coming clean the past few years
It was a late night in the city
A romance in the making
If you play the victim I'll play the liar
Another drink and we can go spend some time at home
I know in the morning I'll eat every word I said
I know in the morning that you'll never understand
There's no explanation
There's no explanation
It all came down to you tonight
We'll never make it out of here
And all you did was try
By coming clean the past few years
Tell me anything, anything
Please tell me anything, anything
Tell me anything and everything
It's all right
And it's all on you tonight [x4]
If you play the victim I'll play the liar [x4]
Never gonna wake up, never gonna wake up from this
You'll sure be missed. I hope you find your truth in

The song "Victim Liar" by Crash Romeo is a love song that talks about how the relationship of the singer is coming to an end tonight. The beginning of the song is in a somber mood as they agree that they are not going to make it out alive from this relationship. The singer acknowledges that the other person has tried in the past few years to make things right between them. The second verse is set in a bar or club, where the couple decides to have a final drink together before parting ways.

The chorus of the song establishes the finality of the situation. The singer focuses on the immediate present and understands that there is no explanation for what has happened. They ask the other person to tell them anything and everything, but it doesn't matter since it is already too late.

The music video for "Victim Liar" features the band performing in dark and moody settings, further reinforcing the sad and despairing atmosphere of the song.
