"Liar" lyrics:
I, I let you drive around my mind
I can't count the times you made me feel like I'm nothin'
Played me like a fool
Like a fool
Sayin' drink another whiskey
Pop another pill
Money makes you happy Heaven isn't real
You won't find nobody to love
Because your heart's too broke
Now I know
You ain't nothin but a liar
Yeah I walked right out the fire
Yeah you tried to keep me down
Tried to put me underground
But I'm only goin' higher
I can hear you in my head
In my bed when i'm dreamin'
You try to be my friend but you're blowin' smoke
Oh and now I ain't scared of tellin' you where you can go
'Cause I know
You're nothin' but a lie
You burned me one too many times
Like a devil in disguise hidin' your true colors
Just leave me alone
Keep leadin' me on
Sayin' drink another whiskey
Pop another pill
Money makes you happy Heaven isn't real
You won't find nobody to love
Because your heart's too broke
Now I know
You ain't nothin' but a liar
Yeah I walked right out the fire
Yeah you tried to keep me down
Tried to put me underground
But I'm only goin' higher
I can hear you in my head
In my bed when I'm dreamin'
You try to be my friend but you're blowin' smoke
Oh and now I ain't scared of tellin' you where you can go
'Cause I know
You're nothin' but a liar
If I was doing what you do
You would say I poisoned you
You're nothin' but a liar
Yeah I walked right out the fire
Yeah you tried to keep me down
Tried to put me underground
But I'm only goin' higher
I can hear you in my head
In my bed when I'm dreamin'
You try to be my friend but you're blowin' smoke
Oh and now I ain't scared of tellin' you where you can go
'Cause I know
You're nothin' but a liar
Award-winning, Grammy nominated Nashville native singer/songwriter Jelly Roll (Jason DeFord) debuted Top 3 on the Billboard 200 All Genre Chart and #2 on the Top Country Album charts with his debut Country Album, Whitsitt Chapel (released June 2nd, 2023) - earning the biggest Country debut album in Billboard Consumption Chart history. Following his sweep at the 2023 CMT Music Awards where he earned 3 awards to become the most awarded artist of the night, the Billboard Country Power List Cover star and "country's 'most authentic' new artist" (The New Yorker) received Billboard's 2023 Breakthrough Award and the People's Choice Award for Male Country Artist of the Year. Nominated for Best New Artist and Best Duo/Group Performance for "Save Me (with Lainey Wilson)" at the 2024 GRAMMY Awards, along with eight genre-spanning nominations at the 2024 iHeartRadio Radios, Jelly Roll is one of three artists alongside MorganWallen and Luke Combs to have scored three Country Airplay #1s in 2023 and the first to do it with his first three singles. "One of Nashville's fastest rising stars" (The New York Times), Jelly was a 4X winner at the 2023 People's Choice Country Awards and was the most nominated male at the 2023 CMA Awards, with five total nominations capturing his first CMA Award for New Artist of the Year. His #1 hit single "Save Me" — a confessional, vulnerable expression of self-doubt— set the stage for his new season of life and took him to new heights including a Platinum certification from the RIAA on the heels of his 28-week reign at No. 1 on Billboard's Emerging Artists chart. Most recently, "Save Me" earned Jelly his first ACM win for Music Event of the Year, and he's followed his four consecutive #1 singles: "Halfway To Hell," "Save Me," "Need A Favor" and "Son of A Sinner" up with two releases that serve as previews into his forthcoming album. The first is his current radio single "I Am Not Okay" and the second is the fiery "Liar."
Not just an artist but a humanitarian, Jelly Roll continues to resonate with fans on a global scale while racking up numerous milestones - from playing his sold-out hometown show for 18,000 fans at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena to donating a recording studio at the juvenile detention center he served in as a teen, to the release of his record-breaking documentary by ABC News, "Save Me" -the most watched music documentary on the platform- to his visits with rehab centers and those incarcerated across the US. Featured by Nightline, GMA, GMA3, The New York Times, LA Times, The Tennessean, Billboard, Variety, American Songwriter, CMT and more, his self-built, unconventional industry rise and unique fan connection has garnered praise from numerous outlets, with Variety noting, "for everyone who's facing the same struggles, Jelly Roll is their Springsteen," and American Songwriter echoing, "with a string of accolades and an extremely dedicated following, Jelly Roll has emerged as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry."
