"CRY WOLF" lyrics

"CRY WOLF"

The devil don't knock at your door
When you got no soul to sell
Why would I try to ruin your life when you're doing it by yourself?
There ain't no water to drink
When you're poisoning the well
Tears run dry, nobody gon' buy that empty cry for help

When I hear your name
It starts a fire in my veins
When I gave you grace
You threw it right back in my face
So don't come crying to me, I won't
Lose anymore sleep, I know
You're spinning your lies
Only so many times you can cry wolf

What you've done in the dark
Gonna see the light of day
Ain't no sense seeking revenge
I don't wanna have to dig two graves

When I hear your name
It starts a fire in my veins
When I gave you grace
You threw it right back in my face
So don't come crying to me, I won't
Lose anymore sleep, I know
You're spinning your lies
Only so many times you can cry wolf

You were on the phone, said you were alone
Whispers in the dark, now your covers blown
Let you set me up, just to watch me fall
Knew it was a trap, why'd I take the call?
Played the victim when you're not in control
Said you love me, I know you fucking don't
I was there for you, tell me, where were you
When I needed you most?

Don't come crying to me
I won't
Lose anymore sleep
I know
You're spinning your lies
Oh

When I hear your name
It starts a fire in my veins
When I gave you grace
You threw it right back in my face
So don't come crying to me, I won't
Lose anymore sleep, I know
You're spinning your lies
Only so many times you can cry
Only so many times you can cry wolf
