Liar Lyrics by Dar Williams

My Better Self

2005

[Verse 1]
Out where the children all get their own rooms
Where they stir coffee with old silver spoons
In their mansions
There's a girl that the whole town can see
Doesn't fit in but they all know that she
Understands them

[Pre-Chorus]
And they wanna know where the kid came from
She won't tell anyone

[Chorus]
But they know she's a liar
That's what they know
She's a liar
That's what they know
You do what you have to do
Maybe you can be a liar too

[Verse 2]
There's a school where she goes every day
Everything that you could want if you pay
You can find there
She came in with a dream and a plan
Learned how to use movie cameras
And started to shine there

[Pre-Chorus]
And they wanna know where the kid came from
She won't tell anyone

[Chorus]
But they know she's a liar
That's what they know
She's a liar
That's what they know
And if she had to
She could turn the camera right on you

[Verse 3]
As for the teachers, they all knew her crime
When she was every day always on time
They saw through her
She took the train from the city at dawn
Broke through the woods and she crept through the lawns
To her future

[Pre-Chorus]
So maybe they know where the kid came from
They won't tell anyone

[Chorus]
And they know she's a liar
That's what they know
She's a liar
Just because she reached higher
They are so proud of their liar
They are so proud
You do what you have to
Maybe you can be a liar too
