It was a pretty good performance   Yesterday out on the street   Maybe they should give me an Emmy or an Oscar   'Cause you didn't suspect a thing      We made small talk on the sidewalk   I even laughed out loud   And I didn't blink an eye   When I told you that I'm happy now      I'm a good liar, I had you believing   That I wasn't dying watching you leaving   I'm good at pretending, I stood there unflinching   Baby, with my heart on fire, hey, I'm a good liar      Truth is I've had a lot of practice   I've put on this show before   Just like the day you told me we were history   I was brilliant standing right outside your door      I convinced you and me too   It was gonna be all right   That we'd both be better off   That I would get on with my life      I'm a good liar, I had you believing   That I wasn't dying watching you leaving   I'm good at pretending, I stood there unflinching   Baby, with my heart on fire, hey, I'm a good liar      It's time I came clean, it's time I told the truth   No matter what I say I'm still in love with you   Baby, I'm still in love with you, yeah      I'm a good liar, I had you believing   That I wasn't dying watching you leaving   I'm good at pretending, I stood there unflinching   Baby, with my heart on fire   Baby, my heart's on fire, hey, I'm a good liar
