Liar
Dawn Jay Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was trying to find a reason to tell u that I'm sorry
I've been lying all this while so that u never worry
Baby, Meeting friends or working late... it was just a story
Girl I lied... Made you cry...

I said my car ran outta gas I had to walk till I was late
No reception on the fone tried to call but had no change
Baby I never meant to lie to u but the truth was hard to face
Girl I tried... not to lie...

U can cal me liar... I was too weak to face the truth...
U can cal me liar... I couldnt tel u I'l leave u soon
Girl I had my reasons believe me
I never wanted to see that u cry
U can cal me liar... I really love u that's y I lied...

U can cal me liar (liar liar)
U can cal me liar (liar liar)
U can cal me liar (liar liar)
I really love u that's y I lied...

She cut the call when she was on ma fone when u pickep up the line
U got so mad and asked me who's the girl I'm sleeping with behind
Baby, I had no words to say so I guess I will try
Not to lie... it's the time...

I said my car ran outta gas I had to walk till I was late
No reception on the fone tried to call but had no change
Baby I never meant to lie to u but the truth was hard to face
Girl I tried... not to lie...

Girl I never tried to cheat and lie
But I guess I had no choice
Now I guess it's time to say goodbye
So baby hear my voice

I was with my doctor all this time when I came home late
She said my brain was dying I only got 4 months to wait
Girl I had my reasons believe me
I never wanted to see that u cry
U can cal me liar... I really love u that's y I lied...

U can cal me liar (liar liar)
U can cal me liar (liar liar)




U can cal me liar (liar liar)
I really love u that's y I lied...

Overall Meaning

In Dawn Jay's song Liar, the artist expresses remorse and guilt for lying repeatedly to their significant other. They were dishonest about things like meetings, work, and even an emergency situation with their car. However, the reason behind their lies was that they loved their partner and didn't want to hurt or worry them. The chorus repeats the phrase "you can call me liar" several times, acknowledging the deceit and weakness of the singer.


The second verse reveals a situation where the partner caught them lying and accused them of cheating. This time, the singer has no explanation and admits that they will try not to lie anymore. However, the song takes an unexpected turn in the bridge, where the singer claims that they have a terminal illness with only four months to live. The lies were an attempt to protect their partner from this devastating news. The song ends with the chorus, emphasizing the love that drove the singer to lie in the first place.


Overall, Liar is a poignant and emotional song that explores the complexities of lying in relationships. It touches upon themes of guilt, love, and the lengths that people will go to protect their loved ones.
