Boy Who Cries Wolf

Music and Lyrics by Shelley

VERSE 1
I just heard your car pull up
Right on time
To see me at my wit’s end again
With worry
But you’ll just stagger in
With all of your excuses
And your promises

VERSE 2
This has gone on for years
Just when I think we’ve worked it out
You’ll trash it all again
You know that I’ll forgive you
Just like I always do
You’ll have another story to tell
Despite how much it tears me apart

CHORUS
It’s the same old story
I wish I could believe you
It’s the same old story
I wish I could believe you

VERSE 3
This time I’ve made my mind up
If I can follow through
It’ll be the last time
And maybe without me
You’ll learn to hold yourself up
I won’t believe your story
Despite how much I love you

CHORUS

BRIDGE 1
You keep telling me it’s different this time
But I know you
I know that you can’t help yourself
Back to your wicked ways
In no time
I’ve heard it all before
You’re the boy who cries wolf

CHORUS (x2)

BRIDGE 2
You keep telling me it’s different this time
But I know you
I know that you can’t help yourself
I’ve heard it all before
You’re the boy who cries wolf
You’re the boy who cries wolf
I love the boy who cries wolf
