Steve Wynn - Tears Won't Help lyrics

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 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 (ch) 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 (ch)
