Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You lie to have it all your way
So goodbye, I'm never gonna stay
Please try, there's no more time to play
So, come on
So, come on
So, come on
Tell me what's real
You don't agree with anything
And I won't believe you anyway
Alone, I'm gonna walk away
So, come on
So, come on
So, come on
Time is up

Stop being a liar
You need me around
Your words on fire
Will let you down
Stop being a liar
You look like a clown
Your words on fire
Will let you down

You cry to make me feel the pain
And your lies are messing up my brain
Stood by you every single day
So, come on
So, come on
So, come on
Tell me what's real

I've tried but you're not listening
So, tell me it's coming to an end
You hide from your reality
So, come on
So, come on
So, come on
Time is up

Stop being a liar
You need me around
Your words on fire
Will let you down
Stop being a liar
You look like a clown
Your words on fire
Will let you down

Never knew, never knew, it would break us down
Never knew, it would break us down
Never knew, never knew, it would break us down
Never knew, it would break us down
Never knew, never knew, it would break us down
Never knew, it would break us down
Never knew, never knew, it would break us down
Never knew, it would break us

Stop being a liar
You need me around
Your words on fire
Will let you down
Stop being a liar
You look like a clown
Your words on fire
Will let you down

Stop being a liar
You need me around
Your words on fire
Will let you down
Stop being a liar
You look like a clown
Your words on fire
Will let you down
Down, down, down

Stop being, stop being
Stop being, stop being
Stop being, stop being
A liar now
Stop being, stop being
Stop being, stop being
Stop being, stop being
A liar now

Stop being, stop being

Stop being, stop being
A liar now
Stop being, stop being
Stop being, stop being




Stop being, stop being
A liar now
