liar
News Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey you, pretty liar
Don’t try to fool me any longer
Your charm’s like a malevolent spell
You’d make anyone’s life a living hell
Now go away, I don’t want your poison
There’s no more time for you to waste on me
A relationship like a prison
For far too long I’ve been your prey
You took my best years away from me
I need to learn how to live once more
One day my heart will just stay away
From all the troubles that made me sore
Hey you, pretty liar
Don’t worry about me, I’ll feel better
It sounds like you actually care
But this burden is mine, and it’s mine to bear
Now go away, I wanna be on my own
You’ve been playing with my feelings way too much
Deep down, I should have known
Why on earth would you act as such
You took my best years away from me
I need to learn how to live once more




One day my heart will just stay away
From all the troubles that made me sore

My God, people have a bad habit of screwing up everything that's done well.
Do they really believe they will succeed?, nothing beats the original
THEY WILL NEVER BE LIKE THE REAL LIARS!

Erika Rodriguez

Calm down, Beka. You don’t have to watch it so really, it doesn’t concern you. Play ignorance and let OG pll be the only show that exists in your universe.
