Tears Won't Help - Steve Wynn

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)
