《delicate》的歌詞由Damien Rice在專輯《O》中創作和演唱。具體歌詞如下:
I was only trying to break the fall
我試圖避開下墜
I thought that you might like to know
沒想到你會想了解
How the needle rides in circles
細針在滾動
On a painting, slowly moving lower
在一幅畫上滾動,漸漸往下移動
Cause you can break a fragile heart
因為你曾傷害過一顆脆弱的心
With one look from the dark
從黑暗的眼神中
I found out, that you're delicate too
我了解,你同樣嬌弱不堪
So delicate
是如此的脆弱
So delicate, so delicate
如此嬌弱,如此脆弱
I was only trying to break the fall
我試圖避開下墜
I thought that you might like to know
沒想到你會想了解
How the rainbow never washes out
彩虹不會洗去
The stain of a promise broken
一個破碎的承諾的痕跡
Cause you can break a fragile heart
因為你曾傷害過一顆脆弱的心
With one look from the dark
從黑暗的眼神中
I found out, that you're delicate too
我了解,你同樣嬌弱不堪
So delicate
是如此的脆弱
So delicate, so delicate
如此嬌弱,如此脆弱
You're like a bird with a broken wing
你就像一隻折翼的小鳥
And I'm the moon that you can't hold on to
我是你無法緊握的月亮
You're delicate, delicate, delicate
你是如此嬌弱,如此脆弱,如此不堪一擊
And I am fragile too
我也是那么脆弱無力啊………
Cause I am fragile too...
因為我也是那么的脆弱……… (尾奏重複)
