This song premiered live on 30th November 2019 during the “Doom Days Club Nights” at The Sands Centre. Orginally, it was planned for Bastille’s third installment “Doom Days”, but didn’t make it to the final cut of the album. However, Dan Smith mentioned that it would be released on the extended Doom...
[Intro]
Oh you were always stronger than I was
Oh you were always stronger than I was
[Verse 1]
Oh Delilah
On a summer night, you came for me
My eyes were wide shut, opened my mind
Said you loved me
In the heat of it, I replied
"Drunk lust is blind, love, can't choose your type"
[Refrain]
You were always stronger than I was
Oh, you were always stronger than I was
[Chorus]
I got a good lesson in love
Taught through my bed
Like a wildfire
You showed me
A good lesson
Good, good lesson
Good lesson in love
[Verse 2]
In the morning
With a heavy head, an empty bed
Had a good time, you can't hold a good time
Oh you played me, like I was music made by your hands
Still ringing out and echoing around
[Refrain]
You were always stronger than I was
Oh, you were always stronger than I was
[Chorus]
I got a good lesson in love
Taught through my bed
Like a wildfire
You showed me
A good lesson
Good, good lesson
Good lesson in love
[Bridge]
The weaker you made me, the stronger I felt
The higher you built me, the further I fell
The weaker you made me, the stronger I felt
The higher you built me, the further I fell
[Refrain]
You were always stronger than I was
Oh you were always stronger than I was
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I got a good lesson in love
I got a good lesson in love
From you, good lesson
Good, good lesson
Good lesson in love
[Chorus]
I got a good lesson in love
Taught through my bed
Like a wildfire
You showed me
A good lesson
Good, good lesson
Good lesson in love
[Outro]
A good lesson
Good, good lesson
(You showed me)
A good lesson
Good, good lesson
(A good, good lesson)
A good lesson
Good, good lesson
(You showed me, you showed me)
(A good lesson in love)
