Liar
Rollins Band (USA) Lyrics

You think you're gonna live your life alone
You believe that you'll never have any meaningful relationships in your life.

In darkness
You feel lonely and isolated from the world.

And seclusion
You keep yourself away from society and isolate yourself emotionally.

Yeah I know
I understand and can relate to your situation perfectly.

You've been out there
You have tried to socialize and connect with other people.

Tried to mix with those animals
You attempted to engage with society, but you felt that people acted in a savage manner.

And it just left you full of humiliated confusion
The experience of trying to connect with other people made you feel ashamed and perplexed.

So you stagger back home
You retreat back to your safe space, where you feel most comfortable.

And wait for nothing
You have no expectations of anything happening when you retreat.

But the solitary refinement of your room spits you back out onto the street
Despite wanting to stay secluded, you are eventually forced to leave your safe space and face the outside world.

And now you're desperate
You feel a sense of urgency and longing to connect with someone.

And in need of human contact
You crave social interaction and the feeling of companionship.

And then
At this point in your life,

You meet me
You encounter me, the person who will ultimately manipulate you.

And you whole world changes
Your perspective shifts, and everything you once believed changes.

Because everything I say is everything you've ever wanted to hear
I say things that appeal to your desires and make you feel understood.

So you drop all your defenses and you drop all your fears
You let go of any skepticism, doubts, or fears because you feel safe with me.

And you trust me completely
You have complete faith in me and believe that I am trustworthy.

I'm perfect
In your eyes, I am the ideal partner or friend.

In every way
You perceive me as flawless and faultless in all aspects of life.

Cause I make you feel so strong and so powerful inside
I boost your self-esteem and make you feel dominant and in control.

You feel so lucky
You feel fortunate to have met me and grateful that I am in your life.

But your ego obscures reality
Your self-importance prevents you from seeing the reality of our relationship.

And you never bother to wonder why
You don't question why things are going so well for you.

Things are going so well
You are pleased with the way things are going for you in the relationship.

You want to know why?
You are curious and want an explanation for why things are going well.

'Cause I'm a liar
The reason things are going well is that I am an accomplished liar.

Yeah I'm a liar
I am a dishonest and deceitful person.

I'll tear your mind out
I will manipulate your thoughts and beliefs to match my own truths.

I'll burn your soul
I will cause you anguish and hurt that will deeply scar and damage your spirit.

I'll turn you into me
I will influence your thoughts to mirror mine, making you just as deceitful as I am.

'Cause I'm a liar, a liar
I am a compulsive liar.

A liar, a liar
I constantly deceive and mislead you in our relationship.

I'll hide behind a smile
I will create a façade of happiness and joy to mask my true intent.

And understanding eyes
I will look into your eyes as if to convey empathy, making you believe that I care about you.

And I'll tell you things that you already know
I'll say things that are obvious to you already, making you think that you're truly understood.

So you can say
You will express to me that

I really identify with you, so much
You will tell me that you relate to me on a deep level and feel like we have a soul connection.

And all the time that you're needing me
Every moment that you require my company and attention,

Is just the time that I'm bleeding you
Is when I'm taking advantage of your vulnerabilities, causing you pain and manipulating you.

Don't you get it yet?
Haven't you realized by now?

I'll come to you like an affliction
I'll enter your life like a disease or condition.

And I'll leave you like an addiction
I'll exit your life as if it's a drug addiction, leaving you with lingering feelings and hard to quit emotions.

You'll never forget me
You'll always remember me and the impact I had on your life.

I'll rip your mind out
I'll destroy you mentally and emotionally, leaving you with deep scars that will be painful to heal.

Liar, liar, liar, liar
I'm a relentless liar that cares only about myself and my needs.

I don't know why I feel the need to lie
I don't understand why I'm compulsively dishonest with you.

And cause you so much pain
I realized that my lies have caused you substantial emotional pain.

Maybe it's something inside
It's possible that there's some internal mechanism that makes me lie frequently.

Maybe it's something I can't explain
I'm ignorant about the exact reason behind my compulsive lying.

'Cause all I do
The fact is that all I do in our relationship,

Is mess you up and lie to you
Is to harm and manipulate you through my countless lies.

I'm a liar
I am absolutely a liar.

Oh, I am a liar
I'm a person that intentionally deceives just for the thrill of it.

If you'll give me one more chance
If you're willing to give me another opportunity to fix things,

I swear that I will never lie to you again
I promise to be honest and transparent in our relationship from now on.

Because now I see the destructive power of a lie
I understand the harm that my deception can cause you and those around me.

They're stronger than truth
Lies have more significant effects than the truth.

I can't believe I ever hurt you
I feel remorse for causing you pain and wish I could undo the damage I've caused.

I swear
I genuinely promise you

I will never to you lie again, please
I vow to you that I will never deceive you again, so please give me another chance.

Just give me one more chance
Please provide me with an opportunity to rectify my past mistakes.

I will never lie to you again
I will always be truthful and honest with you in the future.

That I will never tell a lie
I promise that I will never deceive you in any manner.

No, no
Absolutely not

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
I'm laughing to myself, finding this whole situation amusing.

Sucker
You fell for my lies, and now you're naive.

Sucker!
You're a total fool for trusting me.

Oh, sucker
You're gullible and easy to fool.

I am a liar
I am the embodiment of a deceitful person who manipulates people for their gain.

Yeah, I am a liar
Yes, I am an accomplished deceiver and a person one should not trust.

Yeah, I like it
I enjoy the thrill of fooling people and I like the power that it gives me.

I feel good
My sense of accomplishment comes from manipulating people and watching them believe my lies.

Oh, I am a liar
I am not ashamed to admit that I'm a liar because it's what satisfies me.

Yeah
Absolutely

I lie
My foundation is the fact that I deceive people.

Oh, I lie
Lying is in my nature.

Oh, I lie
There's no other way for me to function besides lying.

Oh, I'm a liar
All that I am is a liar, it's a part of my identity.

I like it
I enjoy the reactions I get from people when I deceive them.

I'll lie again
I will continue to manipulate and mislead people because it's what makes me feel good.

And again
My compulsive lying will never stop and will continue unabated.

I'll lie again and again
Deceiving others will be something I'll do repeatedly.

And I'll keep lying
My manipulative nature will never change or evolve into something that's more genuine.

I promise
I'll swear to abide by my manipulative nature.
