Deliver Me Lyrics

Every woman and every man
Knows the feeling so well
Those times when the heart just can't understand
The times when you never can tell

So deliver me, deliver me
Baby, take this heart, set it free
Take this chance, take this dream
Baby, take this heart
Deliver me

Well, I was born with something down inside of me
And it's carried me over, delivered me
Yeah, delivered me, I'm standing at your gate
Just out of reach of the hands of fate

So deliver me, deliver me
Baby, take this heart, set it free
Take this chance, take this dream
Baby, take this heart
Deliver me

Sometimes I wonder if this is worth the trouble
Sometimes I wonder if this is worth the fight
I never have made my mind up about it
I've just decided to let it all ride
Let it all ride
Let it all ride

So deliver me, deliver me
Baby, take this heart, set it free
Take this chance, take this dream
Baby take this heart
Deliver me
Baby, take this heart
Deliver me
Baby, take this heart
Deliver me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
