Oh my friend what have they done to you
Held you down until you liked the view
Strangers on the street, they mock you
Phantoms in your sleep might shock you
But I don't want to be the one to hold you down
I don't want to be the one to turn away
I don't want to play wolf when you call
'Cause tears won't help at all
Oh, Delilah is the message clear?
It's been raining down for years and years
Never said I was a saint
The whiskers they betray the greasepaint
But I don't want to be the one to hold you down
An d I don't want to be the one to turn away
I don't wanna be the wolf when you call
'Cause tears won't help at all (4 times this line)
Oh the answer to my greatest fears
Oh the reason for the wasted years
So in love with your own pain
You stay inside and pray for rain
Where losers always win the game
You fall in love with your own shame
But I don't want to be the one to hold you down
I don't want to be the one to turn away
I don't want to be the wolf when you call
'Cause tears wo't help at all
