Description
Red flags wave right before your eyes, but somehow it's always easier to think of them as garlands. Until the night-time flashes of the screen and sweet promises start to taste like pure poison. Then there is no room for doubt - all that remains is to slam the door loudly and set fire to the bridges so that the fire can be seen even from the other side of the ocean.
There is no room for pity here: instead of tears, there is a sarcastic ‘la-la-la’; instead of pleas, there is bold mockery. Tracks take revenge better than broken plates, and karaoke turns into a jury trial. The lie is, of course, beautiful, even talented, but too cloying to believe any further.
The music hits hard and bright, like a slap in the face in public. And in this vicious honesty there is liberation: all that remains of the ‘good liar’ is the chorus and ashes.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Oh no I think I might be colorblind
I missed the red flags all the warning signs
I see your phone light up the dead of night
I wonder what excuse you'll give this time
People love to talk in California, baby
Secrets don't stay secret very long
All of your "I love yous" taste like poison, lately
(Bye bye bye)
You know that I'm so done
Hush now baby don't you say a word
Cuz I know it's all nonsense that I've heard
And now your time is up watch me set this place on fire
I thought you were a good one
But you're just a good liar
La La La La La La La Liar
A good good
La La La La La La La Liar
You're such a good liar
La La La La La La La Liar
A good good
La La La La La La La Liar
I hope you're happy, with your top pick
Don't want you back, I'm moving on right quick
They say the best revenge is making hits
Bet you're at karaoke singing like this
People love to talk in California, baby
Secrets don't stay secret very long
All of your "I love yous" taste like poison, lately
(Bye bye bye)
You know that I'm so done
Hush now baby don't you say a word
Cuz I know it's all nonsense that I've heard
And now your time is up watch me set this place on fire
I thought you were a good one
But you're just a good liar
La La La La La La La Liar
A good good
La La La La La La La Liar
You're such a good liar
La La La La La La La Liar
A good good
La La La La La La La Liar
