"Liar" lyrics - ROLLINS BAND

You think you're going to live your life alone
In darkness, and seclusion
Yeah, I know.
You've been out there, and tried to mix with those animals
And it just left you full of humiliated confusion.
So you stagger back home, and wait for nothing.
But the solitary refinement of your room spits you back out onto the streets
And now you're desperate, and in need of human contact
And then, you meet me, and your whole world changes
Because everything I say is everything you've ever wanted to hear
So you drop all your defenses, and you drop all your fears.
And you trust me completely.
I'm perfect, in every way.
'Cause I make you feel so strong and so powerful inside.
You feel so lucky.
But your ego obscures reality and you never bother to wonder why things are going so well.
You want to know why?

'Cause I'm a liar, yeah, I'm a liar
I'll tear your mind up, I'll burn your soul
I'll turn you into me, I'll turn you into me
'Cause I'm a liar, a liar, a liar, a liar

I'll hide behind a smile
And understanding eyes
And I'll tell you things that you already know, so you can say:
"I really identify with you, so much!"
And all the time that you're needing me
Is just the time that I'm bleeding you
Don't you get it yet?
I'll come to you like an affliction
But I'll leave you like an addiction
You'll never forget me
You wanna know why?

'Cause I'm a liar, yeah, I'm a liar
I'll rip your mind out, I'll burn your soul
I'll turn you into me, I'll turn you into me
'Cause I'm a liar, a liar, liar, liar, liar, liar

I don't know why I feel the need to lie and 'cause you so much pain
Maybe it's something inside, maybe it's something I can't explain
'Cause all I do, is mess you up and lie to you
I'm a liar, oh, I am a liar
But if you'll give me just one more chance I swear I'll never lie to you again
'Cause now I see the destructive power of a lie
It is stronger than truth
I can't believe I ever hurt you
I swear I will never lie to you again, please, just give me one more chance
I'll never lie to you again
No, I swear
I will never tell a lie
I will never tell a lie, no, no

Ha ha ha ha ha! Oh oh oh oh!
Sucker! Sucker! Oh, sucker!
I am a liar, yeah, I am a liar, yeah, I like it
I feel good, I am a liar
Yeah, I lie, I lie, I lie, oh, I lie, oh, I lie, I lie, yeah
Oh, I'm a liar, I lie, I like it, I feel good, I'll lie again, and again
I'll lie again and again and I'll keep lying
I promise
