Well I'm the boy who cried wolf

And I know I've lied in the past

Last night I saw his yellow eyes shining in the dark.

Yeah I know I spawn tales with his voice

And I open my mouth too fast

Last night I saw his footprints in the path.

I could swim every sea, south pole to north

But I know I'll only ever be the boy who cried wolf.

Well I'm shepherds only son

And I know what a joke I've become

I have a honest heart but I have lies on my tongue

I don't know how this started where it came from

You have no reason and I have no proof

But this time I swear, I'm telling the truth

I saw that old wolf from tail to tooth

And I know he's hungry and he's coming down too

Where I could swim every sea from south pole to north

I could climb every tree scale every coarse

Well I can only tell the truth from this stay forth

But I know I'll only ever be the boy who cried wolf.

Oh I'm the boy who cried wolf

Oh I'm the boy who cried.
