Katie Callahan - Delicate Man

I am a delicate man, I've always done what I can
To be the best I could be to sustain my family
How did it all slip away? How did I lose all my say?
Is this an ending

It was my plan to grow old and what I earned I would hold
I built this house and a life with my two hands and my wife
Could I be left here to stand and bury my head in the sand
I'm not so foolish

Who gets to choose
Who has to lose
We've paid our dues

I am a sensitive man, I can't be more than I am
There was some joy at the start, but now that's a dwindling art
We say they're out to exploit, they say we're missing the point
We are the working

I am a gold-hearted man though nobody here gives a damn
Just want a few simple things that only money can bring
It's become a hostile race, they pushed me out of my place
Can't you see what's coming

Where will we go
When we're made low
I just don't know

So did you take it from me?
Am I not the one that you see?
No, I am the shadow
And can you go on this way
Ignore the doubt and the pain?
How, I don't know
So now I stand in my shame
Looking for someone to blame
Who, I don't know
Do you need me up on a stage
To see me naked, enraged
Why I don't know

I am a delicate man
I am a delicate man
I am a delicate man
I am a delicate man
