Hater
Delilah Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why do you lie?
Tie me up in ribbons try to fly me like a malay kite
Thought I'd stay round
Asking you to say three words to me
Smells like a ride
Better start running cause it's me, your pussycat
Dare to test me?
I'll teach your class from different points of view

And in this course there's just no room for you

Now I'm no more tied down by your laugh, out to drown,
You're a hater, such a hater
Was a perfect cut out by you stuck with a doubt
A hater, you're a hater
See I won't let you steal my thunder
For you I won't fall under
So sad to see you searching for a hate campaign
Your hate won't slow me down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down

Calm your bitch fit
Better learn to drive before you pull up at a quick fit
Join the mile high, seatbelt sign still on so take a seat
We fight for fun
Crush the tiny man with just a lick or slap of my tongue
So you need me
I hope you write a mixtape RIP
For all the stupid things you said to me

Now I'm no more tied down by your laugh, out to drown,
You're a hater, such a hater
Was a perfect cut out by you stuck with a doubt
A hater, you're a hater
See I won't let you steal my thunder
For you I won't fall under
So sad to see you searching for a hate campaign
Your hate won't slow me down, down, down, down
Down, down

Follow me in the dark so sadness
Got my bad to do with madness
See how bad you crave attention
So I'll pray for your redemption

Won't let you steal my thunder
For you I won't fall under
So sad to see you searching for a hate campaign
Your hate won't

Now I'm no more tied down by your laugh, out to drown,
You're a hater, such a hater
Was a perfect cut out by you stuck with a doubt
A hater, you're a hater
See I won't let you steal my thunder
For you I won't fall under
So sad to see you searching for a hate campaign

Your hate won't slow me down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
