Cry Wolf
Kristinia DeBarge Lyrics

Your rose painted black
You initially presented yourself as something beautiful and unique, but you are actually dark and twisted.

When I need the best of you, yeah, give me the rest of you
I want to see the best parts of you, but all you give me is what is left after you've shown everyone else your facade.

I keep coming back
I can't help but return to you, even though I know you're no good for me.

Cause you tell that you've changed but it always ends the same
You make promises to change, but it always goes back to the same destructive patterns.

I tell you it's over time after time
I repeatedly break things off, but you never take it seriously.

You say whatever, just to make it right
You utter empty platitudes to ease over our issues, without addressing the heart of the problem.

You send me flowers, and promise the sky
You try to make grand gestures and promises to distract me from the real issues in our relationship.

But it turns out your word is no good
Your actions never line up with your words, and your promises are empty.

You always cry wolf
You constantly make false claims and promises, and I cannot trust a word you say.

I'm leaving so you can howl at the moon, auuuuuu!
I am leaving so that you can continue to put on a show for others that you're a victim in this relationship and blame me for all your problems.

I spoke with no flame
I tried to communicate with you calmly and civilly, but you never took me seriously.

Should've known from the start, you were just a false alarm
I should have recognized early on that you were never going to live up to what you promised me.

Save the tears for fool love
Don't waste your tears on our relationship, as it was a foolish decision to be involved with you.

Cause I now it's just a game, that you always made me play
I realize that this relationship was a game to you, and I was just a pawn for you to play with.

Baby it's over, I mean it this time
I am serious about ending our relationship for good this time.

Can't belive I fell for your lies
I can't believe that I was foolish enough to believe your lies and empty promises.

Everytime you cried you really me going
I always fell for your crocodile tears and fake displays of emotion.

Say you're a man, but you're a little boy
You claim to be mature and responsible, but you actually act like a child who can't take responsibility for their actions.

Too scared to tell the truth
You avoid telling the truth and being honest about your feelings or intentions because you're too afraid of the consequences.
