[verse 1

If it would make you laugh

I would sell my soul to Satan

But it's pretty likely to backfire

And we'd regret it sooner than later

If it would change your mind

I could put myself through theatrics

But I don't think it'll change a thing

So I'd best consider new tactics

[pre-chorus

'Cause the truth of the matter

Is thinking of you brings me down

And it feels like in some way

I'm assisting myself to drown

[chorus

'Cause you're a liar (Liar)

Not that you ever lied to me.

And maybe you never lie

But it gives me the reason I need

To try to not want you more

(Want you more)

So if you don't tell any lies,

(And I can't break this wall)

Allow me to lie to myself

[verse 2

If it would make me laugh

I couldn't break your heart

Same can't be said for you

You never even knew you tore mine apart

To have my mouth curve upwards,

I'd check in again for a deal

I wonder what the devil's got going

Better than this I long to feel

[pre-chorus

'Cause the truth of the matter

Is thinking of you brings me down

And it feels like in some way

I'm assisting myself to drown

[chorus

'Cause you're a liar (Liar)

Not that you ever lied to me.

And maybe you never lie

But it gives me the reason I need

To try to not want you more

(Want you more)

So if you don't tell any lies,

(And I can't break this wall)

Allow me to lie to myself

(Allow me to lie to myself)

[chorus

'Cause you're a liar (Liar)

Not that you ever lied to me.

And maybe you never lie

But it gives me the reason I need

To try to not want you more

(Want you more)

So if you don't tell any lies,

(And I can't break this wall)

Allow me to lie to myself
