lyrics
Delicate ~ Dave Coleman / Carter Little
She’s got a broken arm
And it hides a broken heart
She’s barely holding on
To every breakable part
But she won’t make the call
No she won’t cry
She’ll put up one hell of a fight
And there’s no ambulance in this town
That’ll ever find the roads that she goes down
She’s quiet tonight
And her whiskey won’t work
I ask her why she never shows where it hurts
She is Delicate but she won’t tell you that
There’s pieces falling from her lips
She is Delicate but she won’t tell you that
The gloss is coming off her kiss
Who's gonna lift you up
And make you feel better
Who's gonna pick you up
And make you feel better
There’s no ambulance In this town
That’ll ever go down the roads she goes down
She won’t make the call she won’t cry
She puts up one hell of a fight
