What matters now
What mattered then
A lonely promise
Few broken spells
I brought my weapons out
Everytime he cried
Just to hear him say
"I am absolutely mystified"
I am hurt the first,
Scared the second time.
Around the hundredth,
I pretend to be blind.
When the wolf went missing,
The boy came back around
So I dwell in the possibilty, this time
It might not be a lie.
I am fooled once, I am fooled twice
I am a slow learner
But I am eventually wise
I packed my bags
and left him at midnight
My boy cried wolf one too many times
And now he never sleeps at night.
