I am not that one that you imagined
I am not that one that the world offered you
The one that you blindly trusted
The man of your dreams, that's not me
If ever, looking into your eyes
I stole a piece of illusion from you
I swear to you today that I didn't mean to hurt you
And if I've failed at something, I ask you for forgiveness
Liar
Because I know that I've deceived you
To be here at your side
How many things I once promised you
Liar
But it's that I love you so much
You can't imagine how much
And about that I never lied to you
Oh, liar
I am not that one that you imagined
I am not that one that the world offered you
The one that you blindly trusted
And the man of your dreams, that's not me
If ever, looking into your eyes
I stole a piece of illusion from you
I swear to you today that I didn't mean to hurt you
And if I've failed at something, I ask you for forgiveness
Liar
Because I know that I've deceived you
To be here at your side
How many things I once promised you
Liar
Oh, but it's that I love you so much
You can't imagine how much
And about that I never lied to you
Oh, liar
Oh, liar

SONG MEANING

“Mentiroso” sweeps us into the bittersweet confession of a man who finally owns up to his lies. Enrique Iglesias sings from the perspective of someone who isn’t the flawless prince his partner imagined. He admits he made grand promises just to stay by her side, only to realize how deeply those half-truths could hurt. The repeated cry of “Mentiroso” (Liar) is both a self-accusation and a plea for understanding, highlighting the tension between deception and genuine love.

At its heart, the song explores the messy gray area between honesty and affection. Enrique’s narrator apologizes for the illusions he stole, yet insists that one thing was always real: his love. This contrast turns the track into an emotional tug-of-war where regret, vulnerability, and passion collide. Listeners are left pondering an age-old question—can true love survive once trust has been broken?
