This is a pared-down re-release of the final single off of Origins, Imagine Dragons fourth studio album. It is not an acoustic version: it is still based on electronic music, but most of the special effects have been trimmed off to focus on the raw emotion in Dan’s voice. Lyrically it deals with the...
Bad Liar (Stripped) 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 and
Trust me, darlin', trust me, darlin'
[Pre-Chorus]
So look me in the eyes, tell me what you see
Perfect paradise, tearin' at the seams
I wish I could escape it, no, I don't wanna fake it
Wish I could erase it, 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
And 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 worlds inside
I take my gun to the enemy's side
Oh, I've been askin’ for—
Oh, I've been askin' for problems, problems, problems
[Pre-Chorus]
So look me in the eyes, tell me what you see
Perfect paradise, tearin' at the seams
I wish I could escape it, no, I don't wanna fake it
Wish I could erase it, 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, oh, oh-oh, oh
Please believe me, please believe me
