Cry Wolf
The Girl and The Dreamcatcher Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I swear I'm done, I swear I'm through
I swear this time I never come back to you
Break my heart, and I give in
Every time we're done we're gonna do it again

(Yeah)
Water is rising it's filling the room
Light of my life darling we are renewed
If I am the waves then you must be the moon

You pull so hard I am drowning
I know, I should be leaving
But you make it hard to mean it
When the sun comes up
That's nice to lead it
When the sun comes up
I've been defeated
All we ever do is
Cry, cry, cry, cry wolf
All we ever do is

Cry, cry, cry, cry wolf
Scream it loud, kiss me sweet
Beg it on my love you never miss a beat
Drag me down, save my life

Always say it's over but we know it's a lie
Water is rising it's filling the room
Light of my life darling we are renewed
If I am the waves then you must be the moon

You pull so hard I am drowning
I know, I should be leaving
But you make it hard to mean it
When the sun comes up
That's nice to lead it
When the sun comes up
I've been defeated
All we ever do is
Cry, cry, cry, cry wolf
All we ever do is

Cry, cry, cry, cry wolf
I cry wolf
Oh woah

All, all, all, all we ever do is
Cry, cry, cry, cry wolf
I know, I should be leaving
But you make it hard to mean it
When the sun comes up
That's nice to lead it
When the sun comes up
I've been defeated
All we ever do is
(All we ever, all we ever)
Cry, cry, cry, cry wolf
All we ever do is
Cry, cry, cry, cry wolf




All we ever do is
Cry, cry, cry, cry wolf

Overall Meaning

The song "Cry Wolf" by The Girl and The Dreamcatcher delves into the complexities of a toxic relationship. The singer starts by making a resolution to leave her partner forever, but ultimately fails to follow through. Each time she tries to break free, her partner lures her back by breaking her heart and then promising her love and renewal. The water metaphorically represents her emotional state; it is rising and filling the room, signifying that she is drowning under the weight of her feelings.


The chorus ("All we ever do is cry wolf") suggests that their relationship is full of drama and false alarms. The use of the phrase "cry wolf" references Aesop's fable about a shepherd who cried for help multiple times when no danger was present, causing the villagers to lose trust in his word. Similarly, the singer's repeated attempts to leave and then return ultimately make her partner feel unsure of her real intentions. The final line, "I cry wolf" reinforces this idea, suggesting that the singer may be crying for help but not actually wanting to be saved.


Overall, "Cry Wolf" is a poignant exploration of the complicated dynamics of a relationship that is both toxic and addictive. It highlights the challenges of breaking free from someone who continues to pull you in despite hurtful behaviors.
