Liar
David Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can't tell me anything that's true
You said that nothing does feel right
Don't stop your reminiscing
Somehow you're not convincing
Why even try to hide it inside

You say you won't (something)
Tell me that you're fine.
You know that doesn't work
Something
I don't believe you
You're not a very good liar

You said it doesn't hurt, said you'd never cry
Something
Go ahead deny
You know it's not true
You're not a very good liar
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Not a very good liar

Inside you're falling apart to keep it together
Something crying all night
It's for the best, you keep on saying
Something better is out there waiting
But I know lies, I see it every time

Yeah, yeah
Tell me that you're fine
I know it doesn't hurt (something)
I don't believe you
You're not a very good liar

You said it doesn't hurt, said you'd never cry
You can tell yourself, go ahead and lie
You know it's not true
You're not a very good liar

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
You're not a very good liar

Maybe it hurts too much to talk about
But you don't say nothing at all, no
If you ever need someone to talk to
Then you know who to call
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh
Yeah yeah yeah

Not a very good liar

Say it doesn't hurt, that you'd never cry
You can tell yourself
Go ahead, deny
You know it's not true
Not a very good liar
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Not a very good liar
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh




Oh oh oh oh
Not a very good liar
