The Girl Who Cried Wolf Lyrics

I'm not leaving

Every time you say to me it's over
You just wanna start again, it's just lies
The girl who cries wolf everyday
Ignored by gravity, but in the end, don't ask why

You say you wanna, but do you wanna run away?
Your great...

    I think the song is about a girl who can’t decide if she really wants to continue her relationship with the guy. The guy, on the other hand, will choose not leave her even if the girl is undecided with her feelings. The girl keeps saying that she wants to start again but its just lies. The guy in the song keeps questioning “is anyone there at all?” Although he knew the truth.. Meaning for me if there’s another guy besides him, he will still not leave her despite of that.

    I think that this songs meaning is about this girl with depression, who is afraid to show the boy what she really feels and she is trying to keep him apart from all her problems .. 'is anyone there at all' is a sign that she isn't there anymore.. and the boy can't help her .. she is gone..

    I feel like this is like the other side of the story for another 5sos song jet black heart. In that song there is a person that says that they have something inside of them that keeps them away from having relationships with others and ruins relationships. That person could be the girl who is talked about here because it says that she always wants to end her relationship with this guy but this guy knows her and he knows that she still loves him and that she does not want to leave him. and the is anyone there at all isnt really asking if she has left but is symbolic of the story the boy who cried wolf because in that story the boy kept saying that there was a wolf and there really wasn’t so the “is anyone there at all” is really asking if she is telling the truth or not because she has said this so many times that he just really isn’t sure. Idk if this is right but it would be cool if the 2 5sos songs were linked :P

    I think that it is about a girl with depression who is dating this guy and she thinks that because of her depression that he will leave her so she keeps saying that she doesn’t want to date him anymore because she doesn’t love him so that she can spare herself from the heartbreak if he breaks up with her but he knows that that isnt true and the “is anybody there at all” is a reference to the story the boy who cried wolf really meaning are you telling the truth and he is reassuring her that he will love her no matter what and he wont leave her

    I think it links deeper than a girl in a relationship. It kinda touches with depression. About how the 'boy' is willing to wait and is trying to get in the walls of the girl who may be suffering from anxiety or depression. This is about saying that they are willing to wait for those with depression but they have to just have to let them in the walls

    I think that the song is about a girl in a relationship who keeps lying to the man in the relationship and saying she wants to take some time apart but comes crawling back. It seems like the male is trying to get her to tell the truth behind all of her lies, however, it seems that by the end of the song, she has left, not wanting to deal with everything. The male decides that the relationship was fake and when he wakes up, she's gone. He tries to convince himself he's not dreaming but realizes that the whole time he was being lied to by his mind.

    The song is about a relationship where the girl keeps telling lies. ( girl who cried wolf ) fhe guy wants to believe her but really can't. At the end of the song it seems like the girl isn't even threre anymore "Is anyone there at all?" A relationship is nothing without trust and the girl keeps telling the lies so there's no trust in it and she's not really her own person. Just my thought idk
