Cry Wolf Lyrics by Christina Grimmie

2020

[Verse 1]
They say the brightest stars
Are the ones that burn out first
And I was quick to give my heart
Turns out that you kept yours

[Pre-Chorus]
And you tell me that you love me
Tell me that you mean it
Didn't see it coming, sorry I believed it
I was buying every lie you sold
And even though we lost it
Never really had it
I was your secret hiding in the attic
The only one you never told

[Chorus]
I need a witness
Someone to write it down
All this truth I found, it was a bitter try
Begging for forgiveness
It's a hopeless cause
You've played your cards
Don't wanna watch you cry
Wolf, wolf, wolf, wolf, wolf, wolf

[Verse 2]
You know how the story goes
In the end the wolf gets fed
You need a miracle after everything you've said

[Pre-Chorus]
And you tell me that you love me
Tell me that you mean it
Didn't see it coming, sorry I believed it
I was buying every lie you sold
And even though we lost it
Never really had it
I was your secret hiding in the attic
The only one you never told

[Chorus]
I need a witness
Someone to write it down
All this truth I found, it was a bitter try
Begging for forgiveness
It's a hopeless cause
You've played your cards
Don't wanna watch you cry
Wolf, wolf, wolf, wolf, wolf, wolf

[Bridge]
Save your breath, I ain't listening
There's nothing left worth you saying
So save your breath, I ain't listening at all, all

[Chorus]
I need a witness
Someone to write it down
This truth I found was a bitter try
Begging for forgiveness
It's a hopeless cause
You've played your cards
Don't wanna, don't wanna watch you cry

[Chorus]
Witness, someone to write it down
All this truth I found, it was a bitter try
Begging for forgiveness
It's a hopeless cause
You've played your cards
Don't wanna watch you cry

[Chorus]
Need a witness
Someone to write it down
All this truth I found, it was a bitter try
Begging for forgiveness
It's a hopeless cause
You've played your cards
Watch you cry wolf
Wolf, wolf, wolf, wolf

[Outro]
They say the brightest stars
Are the ones that burn out first
