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
