Bad Liar Song Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, hush, my dear, it’s been a difficult year
And terrors don’t prey on innocent victims
Trust me, darlin’, trust me darlin’
It’s been a loveless year
I’m a man of three fears:
Integrity, faith, and crocodile tears
Trust me, darlin’, trust me, darlin’
[Pre-Chorus]
So look me in the eyes (Eyes), tell me what you see (You see)
Perfect paradise (—Dise), tearin’ at the seams (Seams)
I wish I could escape it (Escape), I don’t wanna fake it
Wish I could erase it (Erase), make your heart believe
[Chorus]
But I’m a bad liar, bad liar
Now you know, now you know
I’m a bad liar, bad liar
Now you know, you’re free to go
[Verse 2]
Did all my dreams never mean one thing?
Does happiness lie in a diamond ring?
Oh, I’ve been askin’ for—
Oh, I’ve been askin’ for problems, problems, problems
I wage my war, on the world inside
I take my gun to the enemy’s side
Oh, I’ve been askin’ for— (Trust me, darlin’)
Oh, I’ve been askin’ for (Trust me, darlin’) problems, problems, problems
[Pre-Chorus]
So look me in the eyes (Eyes), tell me what you see (You see)
Perfect paradise (—Dise), tearin’ at the seams (Seams)
I wish I could escape it (Escape), I don’t wanna fake it
Wish I could erase it (Erase), make your heart believe
[Chorus]
But I’m a bad liar, bad liar
Now you know, now you know
I’m a bad liar, bad liar
Now you know, you’re free to go
[Bridge]
I can’t breathe, I can’t be
I can’t be what you want me to be
Believe me, this one time
Believe me
[Chorus]
I’m a bad liar, bad liar
Now you know, now you know
I’m a bad liar, bad liar
Now you know, you’re free to go
[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh
Please believe me
Please believe me
Bad Liar Song Lyrics Meaning
When you take the lyrics of the pre-chorus leading into the chorus, you could tell that the singer has a desire to make his partner “believe” that the issues plaguing the relationship would ultimately be rectified. However in the chorus he once again adopts a disposition of hopelessness as he acknowledges that he is a “bad liar”. In other words the lyricist himself doesn’t even believe that the issues in the relationship can be solved.
The second chorus is identical to the first. However the placement of it in the song is what perhaps makes its implied meaning more significant. The chorus ends with the singer stating to his partner “now you’re free to go.” However unlike the first chorus, this time that statement is followed by the lines of the outro which go “please believe me, please believe me”.
