Lyrics
Delilah beautiful
Like the devil seducing me
For this idol that I'm bowing to, oh how subtly you ruin me
Ohh...I am a sucker for your lies
Ohh...you leave me empty every time
Darling beautiful
Clinging tightly to your rosary
Like my idol, or your memory
I let religion get the best of me
Ohh...I am a sucker for your lies
Ohh...you leave me empty every time
You are my golden statue
You are my bright red sun
Blinded from all that was true
You were my only one
Ohh...I am a sucker for your lies
Ohh...you leave me empty every time
Ohh...I am a sucker for your lies
Ohh...you leave me empty
