Well I'm the boy who cried wolf
And I know I 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
