GOOD LIAR
Heartbreak Symphony: Embracing the Art of Deceit
Lyrics
Girl if I told you the truth
Expressing readiness to reveal the truth to the girl.
No I ain't mad ya' left me
Not upset about the girl leaving.
Hell no my heart ain't heavy
Denying a heavy heart after the breakup.
Just glad to see ya' gone
Expressing relief and happiness about the girl's departure.
It's back to cigarettes and whiskey
Returning to vices like cigarettes and whiskey as coping mechanisms.
They're the only things that get me past the pain of movin' on
Highlighting substances as a means to overcome the pain of moving on.
I'm gettin' use to movin' on
Indicating a growing familiarity with the process of moving on.
But, baby I'm a good, good liar
Claiming to be a skilled liar.
I can wreck your heart and set your world on fire
Asserting the ability to cause emotional damage and chaos.
No it ain't too late and I'm not drunk
Denying intoxication and insisting it's not too late.
And you're not all I've been thinkin' of
Clarifying that the girl is not the sole focus of thoughts.
But I'm a good, good liar
Reiterating the skill of being a deceptive person.
But, if I told you the truth
Hypothetically exploring the consequences of telling the truth.
Maybe I had one or two
Admitting to having a few drinks.
Maybe I had a few too many
Acknowledging having a bit too much to drink.
Tryin' to get over you's
Struggling to overcome the girl's memory.
And I really think I am and I don't give a damn
Expressing indifference to the presence of someone new in the girl's life.
If there's someone new
Confidently asserting progress in moving on.
Layin' right next to you
Imagining someone new being with the girl.
Cuz baby I'm a good, good liar
Reiterating the ability to deceive convincingly.
I can wreck your heart and set your world on fire
Emphasizing the potential for causing emotional turmoil.
No it ain't too late and I'm not drunk
Denying drunkenness and asserting it's not too late.
And you're not all I've been thinkin' of
Reaffirming that the girl is not the sole focus of thoughts.
But I'm a good, good liar
Repeating the claim of being a skilled liar.
But, If I told you the truth
Discussing the potential pain of telling the truth.
It's gonna hurt me more than I hurt you
Stating that revealing the truth would be more painful for the speaker.
If I told you the truth
Repetition for emphasis on the difficulty of telling the truth.
If I told you the truth
-But baby I'm a good, good liar
Reiterating the claim of being a skilled liar.
Oh baby I'm a good, good liar
Reaffirming the proficiency in deception.
Oh baby I'm a good, good liar
Reiteration of the speaker's adept lying skills.
I can wreck your heart and set your world on fire
Restating the ability to cause emotional upheaval.
So what it might be late and I might be drunk
Acknowledging potential intoxication but expressing genuine thoughts.
And you're all that I've been thinkin' of
Affirming that the girl is the primary focus of thoughts.
But I'm a good, good liar
Repeating the claim of being a skilled liar.
Oh baby I'm a good, good liar
Reaffirming the proficiency in deception.
Baby I'm a good, good liar
Final assertion of being a skilled liar.
