Overall Meaning

The song Bad Liar by Kalsey Kulyk talks about the aftermath of a breakup and how the singer tries to move on without feeling the emotions that come along with it. The first verse talks about how the singer finds it hard to see her ex-partner with someone else and how she tries to push away the memories of him from her mind. The line "These ain't tears it's just black rain" talks about how she tries to hide her emotions and just pretends to be okay when in reality she is hurting.

The chorus goes on to say that she doesn't miss him as much as she thought she would and that she is not trying to cope with the breakup by hoping that he will break his new partner's heart. The line "And I ain't ever been better, everything good" represents her strong and independent attitude, showing that she is not affected by their breakup.

The bridge is the most empowering part of the song, where Kulyk sings "Yeah I like being all alone|I'm happy that you're finally gone". It shows that she doesn't need anyone to complete her and that she is happy being single. The line "I'm a bad liar" at the end suggests that maybe she is lying to herself about not missing him, but she wants to put on a brave face and move on with her life.
