This song is everything! Joonie's voice is very soothing - love the lyrics. This song reminds me of something from back in the day and the background vocals are really nice too.
Chorus
Can’t call Delilah no more, her love has walked out the door
And though I’m not the man that she’s with
I only wish her the best
Verse 1
Oh, I never knew that it would be like this
With a smile on her face, you buried my heart in the sand
And oh, you were my shining star,
I dreamed of loving you always babe, but your love faded away
Chorus
Can’t call Delilah no more, her love has walked out the door
And though I’m not the man that she’s with
I only wish her the best
Ahh …..
Verse 2
It’s not the best thing for me to stay here when you do me wrong
But I can’t help but see you the way I pictured you in my dreams
And that’s why I said I stay, though you said you’re done
And I know I should move on, but it’s so hard to run
And I’m dying, slowly dying chasing after you
Chorus
Can’t call Delilah no more, her love has walked out the door
And though I’m not the man that she’s with
I only wish her the best
Ahh …..
