And I swore I wouldn't let ya make me)
Yeah I gotta hand it to you
You got a way with words
And what makes it worse
They never tell the truth
Yeah I know they never do
But when I see those eyes and that smile
They tell a different story
Every damn time I just can't ignore it
Cuz you're bout to buy me the right drink
You're bout to play me the right song
You're bout to say all the right words
You know are gonna make me do
What I know is wrong
It's gonna feel good until it don't
Once you've got what you came for
When it's all said and done
We're both lying in the room
I'm no better than you
Cause I swore off us, and I swore off you
And I swore I wouldn't let ya make me a liar too
(Cause I swore off us, and I swore off you
And I swore I wouldn't let ya make me)
This ain't a new thing
It's the same old lies
Just a different night
But you're selling me
On the you I wish you could be
Maybe I only want it it cause I can't have it
Maybe you're just my kryptonite habit
Cuz you're bout to buy me the right drink
You're bout to play me the right song
You're bout to say all the right words
You know are gonna make me do
What I know is wrong
It's gonna feel good until it don't
Once you've got what you came for
When it's all said and done
We're both lying in the room
I'm no better than you
Cause I swore off us, and I swore off you
And I swore I wouldn't let ya make me a liar too
Maybe I only want it cause I can't have it
Maybe you're just my kryptonite habit
You're bout to buy me the right drink
You're bout to play me the right song
You're bout to say all the right words
You know are gonna make me do
What I know is wrong
It's gonna feel good until it don't
Once you've got what you came for
When it's all said and done
We're both lying in the room
I'm no better than you
Cause I swore off us, and I swore off you
And I swore I wouldn't let ya make me a liar too
(Cause I swore off us, and I swore off you
And I swore I wouldn't let ya make me)
A liar too

And I swore I wouldn't let ya make me)
A liar too
(Yeah I swore off us, and I swore off you)
A Liar too
(Yeah I swore off us, and I swore off you)

The lyrics to Meghan & Caitlin's song Liar detail a complicated relationship and the battle between the desire for what is wrong and wanting to keep one's integrity intact. The first verse expresses a sense of being done with the other person and swearing off them, but the chorus reveals that the singer keeps falling for their dishonest and manipulative ways. The other person has a way with words and knows how to push the singer's buttons, leading them down a path they know they shouldn't go.
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's feelings of being fooled by the other person's false promises and idealized version of themselves. They acknowledge that this is not a new thing, just the same old lies in a different package. But the other person is persistent and convincing, drawing the singer in with the right drink, song or words. The song ends with the realization that both parties are lying to themselves and each other, and the singer is no better than the other person.
Overall, this song explores the conflicting emotions that come with being drawn to someone who is not good for you. The lyrics capture the vulnerability of wanting something that you know is wrong and the struggle to resist temptation while questioning your own moral compass.
