Oh, she bites her tongue,she bites her tongue so you can't hold on to it
And she plays along, she plays along the lines of what's right and wrong
She's a Delicate Girl on top of the world, she ain't looking for something
And she's a lovely girl, so sick of the hurt, sick of saying it's nothing
Sad and lonely
Can she own it?
She's a Delicate Girl on top of the world, she ain't looking for something
Or someone
So she hides like God's undeserving whore
But she'll shine like gold and it's all because
She's a Delicate Girl on top of the world, she ain't looking for something
And she's a lovely girl, so sick of the hurt, sick of saying it's nothing
Sad and lonely
Can she own it?
She's a Delicate Girl on top of the world, she ain't looking for something
Sad and lonely girl, victimized herself
Crying out for help
She's putting on a shell, rotten out in hell
Crying out for help
She's a Delicate Girl on top of the world, she ain't looking for something
And she's a lovely girl, so sick of the hurt, sick of saying it's nothing
Sad but beautiful
Open up your soul
You don't have to hide no more
My sweet Delicate Girl
My sweet Delicate Girl
