Cry Wolf Lyrics by Friendly Fires

Inflorescent

2019

[Verse 1]
We've got history
I’ve come to terms that we won't ever be a thing
So why are your eyes on me when you're kissing him?
You’ll never let me go
Can't you let me be?
You know that you're the cause of my anxiety
It's like I always have to be within your reach
You'll never let me go

[Chorus]
I'm not the one you're thinkin' of
So why do you need my love?
Cry wolf
Don’t say that I’m always in your heart
When I'm just an afterthought
Cry wolf

[Post-Chorus]
Cry wolf
Cry wolf

[Verse 2]
It’s getting late again
Sitting in the back seat, staring at the screen
Let's promise, someday, things will all be different
You'll never let me go
You call me through the night
Why do I pick up to hear another lie?
I can't quit this game however hard I try
You’ll never let me go

[Chorus]
I'm not the one you're thinkin' of
So why do you need my love?
Cry wolf
Don't say that I'm always in your heart
When I'm just an afterthought
Cry wolf

[Post-Chorus]
Cry wolf
Cry wolf

[Bridge]
Since you know how I feel
Then why do you take advantage of me?
'Cause you know how I feel

[Chorus]
I'm not the one you're thinkin' of
So why do you need my love?
Cry wolf
Don't say that I'm always in your heart
When I'm just an afterthought
Cry wolf
I'm not the one you're thinkin' of
So why do you need my love?
Cry wolf
Don't say that I'm always in your heart
When I'm just an afterthought
Cry wolf
