“Liability” is a deeply vulnerable piano ballad about feeling like you’re “too much” for others. Lorde reflects on loneliness, insecurity, and the pain of believing she drives people away. As heartbreak turns inward, she learns to rely on herself, finding quiet strength and self-acceptance despite emotional isolation and rejection.
Liability Lyrics
[Intro]
Go for it
One, two
[Verse 1]
Baby really hurt me, crying in the taxi
He don’t wanna know me
Says he made the big mistake of dancing in my storm
Says it was poison
So I guess I’ll go home
Into the arms of the girl that I love
The only love I haven’t screwed up
She’s so hard to please, but she’s a forest fire
I do my best to meet her demands, play at romance
We slow dance in the living room
But all that a stranger would see
Is one girl swaying alone, stroking a cheek
[Chorus]
They say, “You’re a little much for me
You’re a liability
You’re a little much for me”
So they pull back, make other plans
I understand, I’m a liability
Get you wild, make you leave
I’m a little much for e-a-na-na-na, everyone
[Verse 2]
The truth is I am a toy that people enjoy
Till all of the tricks don’t work anymore
And then they are bored of me
I know that it’s exciting, running through the night
But every perfect summer’s eating me alive until you’re gone
Better on my own
[Chorus]
They say, “You’re a little much for me
You’re a liability
You’re a little much for me”
So they pull back, make other plans
I understand, I’m a liability
Get you wild, make you leave
I’m a little much for e-a-na-na-na, everyone
[Outro]
They’re gonna watch me disappear into the sun
You’re all gonna watch me disappear into the sun
