Liar
TakingBack Sunday Lyrics

All our secrets they are tailored trouble
The secrets we keep are problematic and specifically chosen for the purpose of causing issues.

Draped loose now around your hips
The consequences of our secrets are now visible and are affecting you negatively.

Your spotless instincts are valid
Your natural impulses and intuition are reliable and trustworthy.

We co-exist
We share a space and interact, but our relationship is strained.

Got 26 days to work with (got 26 days)
We have a limited amount of time to address the issues at hand.

We'll see what all gets done
We're not sure what will be accomplished during the limited timeframe.

I'm an addict for dramatics
I have a tendency to create or exaggerate situations for the sake of excitement.

I confuse the two for love
I mistake dramatic situations for genuine affection and connection.

You can't tell me that you don't beg
You cannot deny that you want and need more from our relationship.

Liar (Liar)
Addressing someone who has been dishonest or deceitful.

If we're keeping score
If we're counting and comparing our actions against one another.

Then we're all choir boys at best
Even if we compare ourselves to those who are considered morally upstanding, we still fall short.

(Intrusive and arrogant)
Calling out these behaviors as negative traits relating to scorekeeping and competition.

Then back on that island
Referring to a past event or situation that was isolating or difficult.

That you swear by
A place or thing that you highly value or rely on.

Still barely can afford
We are struggling emotionally and financially to maintain what we value.

It's still a question of
There is still uncertainty or doubt surrounding our situation and its outcome.

"How long will this hold?"
Asking how long our current situation can be maintained or sustained.

"Well is it any different now that we are" (I said we are patient)
Questioning if anything has changed now that we are trying to be patient and work through our issues.

"Oh, don't you go there, not here, not now" (it moves, it moves, it moves)
Warning against bringing up a sensitive topic or argument and trying to redirect the conversation elsewhere.

Yeah, we're all choir boys at best
Reiterating that we are all flawed and fallible, even when compared to those who are considered good or virtuous.

Liar (Liar)
Repeating the call-out to someone who has been dishonest or deceitful.

It takes one to know one
Acknowledging that in order to recognize someone else's deceit, one must be familiar with that behavior themselves.
