Liar
Emilie Autumnࠀ Lyrics

I want to hold you to the sun
I want to elevate you to the highest point, to show you how much you mean to me.

I want to be your faithful one
I want to be the one you can count on no matter what, to always love and support you.

I want to show you all the beauty
I want you to see and appreciate all the wonderful things in the world that you might not notice on your own.

You don't even know you hold
You have so much beauty, strength, and potential that you don't even realize yet.

I'm hurting you for your own good
I'm only causing you pain because I believe it will lead to your ultimate happiness and wellbeing in the end.

I'd die for you, you know I would
I'm willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for you. That's how much you mean to me.

I'd give up all my wealth
I'm willing to give up anything I have to bring back the part of you that you've lost, the part of you that you've sold off.

To buy you back the soul you never sold
I want to do whatever it takes to help you reclaim the part of you that you gave away or lost, the essence that makes you who you are.

I want to mix our blood
I want to become so intertwined with you that we share the same essence and become one.

And put it in the ground
I want our connection to be so deep and permanent that it becomes part of the earth, part of the very foundation of existence.

So you can never leave
I want us to be so inseparable that you'll never be able to leave me, and I'll never leave you.

I want to earn your trust
I want to prove to you that I'm worthy of your trust, that I'll always be honest with you and never deceive you.

Your faith, your heart
I want to earn not just your trust, but also your faith - your belief in me and what I stand for - as well as your heart and all the love and devotion it holds.

You'll never be deceived
I promise you that I'll never lie to you or betray you, and you'll never be deceived by me.
