Stroke 9 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What you're asking
Promises come and go
Just like fashions
Sincerely I hope you get the message from this
I hope
If I had a buck for all your fears
How could I not see right through all you do
It does goes to show
That I'll never know what I never knew
Your words are getting tired
You're nothing but a liar
Liar, liar
Prepare to burn in the fire
You're nothing but a liar.
Don't break more than you can make
You're not special
You're writing checks that you can't cash
As you wrestle
With the guilt of all the false things that got you
To where you are today
Your words are getting tired
You're nothing but a liar
Liar, liar
Prepare to burn in the fire
You're nothing but a liar.
Oh yeah!
Whoa yeah!
Say the right thing now it's like you never left
Say the wrong thing and it gets you more
Respect
Twisted light
Scared to fight
You're lying
Down like an ex-champion might
Staring up from the floor
At the boarded up door that leads to what is write
Take a listen to
What you're asking
Promises come and go
Just like fashions
Sincerely I hope you get the message from this
I hope
Your words are getting tired
You're nothing but a liar
Liar, liar
Prepare to burn in the fire
You're nothing but a liar.
Your words are getting tired
You're nothing but a liar
Liar, liar
Prepare to burn in the fire
You're nothing but a liar.
