Liar Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What was the moment? It's hard to say
I’m sure I don't remember anyway
Before I only knew to hesitate
Pin back in the grenade

[Pre-Chorus]
And all the ways I'd keep you safe
I keep you safe from me

[Chorus]
And, oh, my love, I lied to you
But I never needed to
Oh, my love, I lied to you
But you always knew the truth

[Verse 2]
I got too good at fighting chemicals
And dodgin’ arrows I was asking for
Wading through the fog and then it disappeared
Naked when I'm here

[Pre-Chorus]
And why (And why) should I (Should I) deny what's all
At once so crystal clear?

[Chorus]
And, oh, my love, I lied to you
But I nevеr needed to
Oh, my love, I lied to you
But you always knеw the truth

[Bridge]
Love is not an easy thing to admit
But I'm not ashamed of it
Love is not a weakening if you feel it rushin' in
Don't be ashamed of it
Mm, love is not an easy thing to admit
But I'm not ashamed of it
Mm, love is not a weakening if you feel it rushin' in
Don’t be ashamed of it

[Chorus]
And, oh, my love, I lied to you
But I never needed to
Oh, my love, I lied to you
But you always knew the truth
And, oh, my love, I lied to you
But I never needed to
Oh, my love, I lied to you
But you always knew the truth

About

This song is about Hayley’s denial for falling in love with band member and partner Taylor York, and fighting her feelings because she thought she was wrong to feel them.
During Paramore’s interview with Zane Lowe on 9th February 2023, when speaking about the song Liar she said “When something has ease to it and when something feels healthy and again, like, respectful, it must be wrong. And I fought that feeling and said to myself that ‘that’s just a convenient thing, you’re just trying to go to where maybe your ego likes it’, I just made up anything that I could.”
