Lyrics: RJ Helton. Delicate Child.

Seven, so small
It took forever to speak at all
A lost child, tasting tears
I can breathe this now

Bruises inside my heart
So wounded but not torn apart
Bitterness, so many years
I can breathe this now

You made me cry, you made me scream
But you did not take control of me
No such a delicate child, I still can breathe
'Cause you did not kill me

So languid to see your face
It took forever to reach this place
So do you hear me? All thought you're gone
I can breathe out loud, yeah yeah

You made me cry, you made me scream
But you did not take control of me, no
Such a delicate child, I still can breathe
'Cause you did not kill me

The pain that we let steal
Leaves us mangled on how to feel
We grow numb to reconcile
That's where we find freedom

You made me cry, you made me scream
But you did not take control of me
No such a delicate child, I still can breathe
'Cause you did not kill me

No, no, no

You made me cry, you made me scream
But you did not take control of me
No such a delicate child, I still can breathe
'Cause you did not kill me

No, oh, no, no, no
Such a delicate child
Ooh, ooh, yeah
Such a delicate child
Such a delicate child
