Bad Liar
Imagine Dragons Lyrics

So look me in the eyes
Tell me what you see
Perfect paradise
Tearing at the seams
I wish I could escape
I don't wanna fake it
Wish I could erase it
Make your heart believe

But I'm a bad liar, bad liar
Now you know
Now you know
I'm a bad liar, bad liar
Now you know, you're free to go (go)

Did all my dreams never mean one thing?
Does happiness lie in a diamond ring?
Oh, I've been askin'
Oh, I've been askin' for problems, problems, problems
I wage my war, on the world inside
I take my gun to the enemy's side
Oh, I've been askin' for (trust me, darling)
Oh, I've been askin' for (trust me, darling)
Problems, problems, problems

So look me in the eyes
Tell me what you see
Perfect paradise
Tearing at the seams
I wish I could escape
I don't wanna fake it
Wish I could erase it
Make your heart believe

But I'm a bad liar, bad liar
Now you know
Now you know
That I'm a bad liar, bad liar
Now you know, you're free to go

I can't breathe, I can't be
I can't be what you want me to be
Believe me, this one time
Believe me

I'm a bad liar, bad liar
Now you know
Now you know
That I'm a bad liar, bad liar
Now you know, you're free to go

Oh
Please believe me
Please believe me

Oh, hush, my dear, it's been a difficult year
And terrors don't prey on
Innocent victims
Trust me, darling, trust me darling
It's been a loveless year
I'm a man of three fears
Integrity, faith and
Crocodile tears
Trust me, darling, trust me, darling
So look me in the eyes
Tell me what you see
Perfect paradise
Tearing at the seams
I wish I could escape
I don't wanna fake it
Wish I could erase it
Make your heart believe
But I'm a bad liar, bad liar
Now you know
Now you know
I'm a bad liar, bad liar
Now you know, you're free to go (go)
Did all my dreams never mean one thing?
Does happiness lie in a diamond ring?
Oh, I've been askin'
Oh, I've been askin' for problems, problems, problems

I take my gun to the enemy's side
Oh, I've been askin' for (trust me, darling)
Oh, I've been askin' for (trust me, darling)

Tearing at the seams
I wish I could escape
I don't wanna fake it

Now you know
Now you know
That I'm a bad liar, bad liar
Now you know, you're free to go
I can't breathe, I can't be
I can't be what you want me to be
Believe me, this one time
Believe me
I'm a bad liar, bad liar

Now you know
That I'm a bad liar, bad liar
Now you know, you're free to go

I never found a song like this one that can fully express the internal battle and soul-quaking struggle of a soul wanting to love someone who can’t love you back because it was the wrong time with someone seemingly so amazing. As much as you want her/him to see how much you love them, throughout the actions, the heartaches and soulful storms waging like a violent tornado in your heart. And it’s so hard to show someone without seeming overbearing or clingy as heck. But all you want to do is come out and say, I love you. For what it’s worth. Even if that person leaves in the end. They’re free to go. And sometimes it’s better for your own well being to let her/him go. Because keeping them while trying to make them believe your feelings are true, is more damaging than just letting them go. No matter how amazing that person is. It sucks but it’s the pure hardship of life. People come and people go. And sometimes it’s so heart wrenching to understand. It may take you months or even a year or two to fully heal. No matter how much you try. But in the end, you’ll eventually get through the pain.❤️‍🩹

Beautiful video I love how symbolic the dancing seems for the girl doing her best and twisting herself into weird angles to save the relationship, I also really love the end where she finally gives up and bows gracefully and then leaves and seeing the corpse aka the relationship drop to the Floor as she was the one keeping it from falling 😂 also cute dress 😂

Chris Linder

The song is about a narcacist, it is about him, and no matter how well she dances, he is incapable of focusing on her and at the end she picks up the lace of dancing and no matter what she does he is incapable of love. If you have been in one of these relationships the song is straight to the heart. And the ending is she has walked away finally.

Apart from the lyrics ......The video is also so meaningfull literally its symbolic of how one person(The girl in a relationship wants to make this relationship work but the other has just lost hope and has no expectations from his relationship .... (The boy ) and is standing still like a dead person ......And in the ending ...... The girl bow down in front of the boy which means that she has tried all the possible ways of keeping their relationship alive but she has failed and now she also gives up ..... and she also stops trying and walks out......... 💔

Maykarmafu©kmyex

You also forgot that the boy's lifeless body and cold heart were following her

KAMAR TAJ

Thanx for the definition of this song

Lori

Agree with the girl. As I see it with the boy, he keeps making excuses and lies that do not help the relationship. She tries everything to keep it together but in the end, as you said, gives up and walks away from his shit.
