[Intro]
(You would have to be a damn good, you, you)
[Verse 1]
You made your heart beat race somehow
A silent talk between our eyes
You made me feel like I was your red letter
Talkin' about us like there was
No other feeling that could ever measure
I thought you were fallin', but you lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
[Chorus]
You would have to be a damn good liar
To fake emotions like that, yeah
You, I guess you're just a damn good liar
And you lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
[Verse 2]
I know you told your friends 'bout me
(I know you told your friends 'bout me)
Why would you waste your energy?
You made me feel like we were goin' somewhere
I bought the stories you told me
Then I heard you were goin' somewhere with someone else
I thought you were fallin', but you lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
[Chorus]
You would have to be a damn good liar
To fake emotions like that, yeah
Mm, I guess you're just a damn good liar
And you lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
(You would have to be a damn good, you, you)
And you lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
(You would have to be a damn good, you, you)
And you lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
[Bridge]
Don't say those words if you don't mean it
Don't try so hard if you don't feel it
Don't say you need me
[Chorus]
You would have to be a damn good liar
To fake emotions like that, yeah
You, I guess you're just a damn good liar
And you lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
You would have to be a damn good liar
To fake emotions like that, yeah
You, I guess you're just a damn good liar
And you lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
(You would have to be a damn good, you, you)
And you lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
(You would have to be a damn good, you, you)
And you lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Damn Good Liar was written by Fanny Hultman & Emily Burns & Madelene Eliasson.
Damn Good Liar was produced by MAD FUN & Jacob Attwooll.
Emily Burns released Damn Good Liar on Wed Nov 28 2018.
“Damn Good Liar” is a really special song to me because I wrote it on my first ever writing trip to Sweden, with a production/writing duo called MadFun. I went into the session and told them all about how I’d recently been let down by someone who had led me to believe she had genuine feelings for me...
