liar
Karl Michael Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I Bend
Bend til I break
Give you everything you
Ya take and you take
For goodness sake
Stop
Won't you have a heart
Like you did from start
Are we falling apart
'Cause I'm here in the dark

You say I never loved you
Said I never cared
Telling all your friends that I was never there
Oh ,no that ain't fair

Now I'm calling you a Liar
Tell me who gon' love ya harder
It's a losing game when you're keeping score
When we don't even know why we're fighting
Look at what you started
Sick of walking on a wire
It's like we're sinking to the bottom
Feels like we're punching underwater
I feel waves, waves, waves
Pushing me away
I feel waves, waves, waves

Time
Time to be honest
I thought we were all in in
Now it feels foreign
You're asking for space
Go
Go on without me
Go on and doubt me
Throw it all in my face

You say I never loved you
Said I never cared
Telling all your friends that I was never there
No, that ain't fair

Now I'm calling you a liar
Tell me who gon love ya harder
It's a losing game when your keeping score
When we don't even know why we're fighting
Look at what you started
Sick of walking on a wire
It's like we're sinking to the bottom
Feels like we're punching underwater
I feel the waves
Pushing me away
I feel the waves

Don't know why
I try so hard to be
What you need

Now I'm calling you a Liar
Tell me who gon' love ya harder
It's a losing game when you're keeping score
When we don't even know why we're fighting
Look at what you started
Sick of walking on a wire
It's like we're sinking to the bottom
Feels like we're punching underwater
I feel waves




Pushing me away
I feel the waves

Overall Meaning

The song Liar by Karl Michael is a poignant expression of the feeling of betrayal, confusion, and frustration that one experiences during a troubled relationship. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been bending or compromising too much to make the relationship work, but instead of appreciating it, the partner keeps taking and questioning their love and commitment. The singer pleads for some understanding, some empathy, and some effort on their partner's part to salvage the relationship. But all they get in return is accusations of not loving, caring, or being there for the partner, which they refute, stating that it's unfair and untrue.


The chorus is the most powerful and catchy part of the song where the singer declares their truth, calls out the partner's lies, and announces their intention to break free and move on. They expose the unhealthy pattern of keeping score and fighting without even knowing why, and the feeling of being pushed away by the turbulent waves of the relationship. The song offers a relatable and empowering message for anyone struggling in a similar situation, to stand up for themselves, and not settle for less than they deserve.
