Lyrics (At least my best attempt not a lyrics maker ever so if you see a mistake comment a fix) Hey, it's Delilah Saw your show in the big city It was great just catching up And your girlfriend she’s so pretty Yes, she is I’m glad you finally done it You made it big Hey, it's Delilah Don't you worry about my feelings I’ve met somebody new And he taught me about healing I’m okay I’m don’t blame you for all the pain I love you the same Oh, it's what you did to me Oh, it's what you did to me Oh, it's what you did to me Oh, I’ve finally found peace Finally found peace Hey, it's Delilah I’ve been working pretty hard Someone’s got to pay the bills I even learned the old guitar You gave to me He tells me that I play so sweet I feel complete Hey, it's Delilah Sorry if I am a bother but I just had to call to say I ran into your mother in the store She said your daughter just turned four And you adore her Oh, it's what you did to me Oh, it's what you did to me Oh, it's what you did to me Oh, I’ve finally found peace A thousand miles kept us apart But finally, I've healed my heart I'd let somebody in to fix my cracks My friends they all are proud of me And suddenly I got to see All the baggage that I’ve unpacked Listen, I can promise you I’m still the girl that you’ve once knew But finally, I’ve learned to love myself Thanks for the help Hey, it's Delilah And next week I’m getting married I just want to thank you for the weight you had carried Just for me Your no longer what I need I just wanted to succeed We had our shot and now we’re free Now we are free Oh, it's what you did to me Oh, it's what you did to me Oh, it's what you did to me Oh, I’ve finally found peace Finally found peace Oh, whoa, whoa Oh whoa, oh Oh, oh

the comparison to the lyrics from this version and the one two years ago is so insane. this version has so much acceptance and peace, whereas the last still had raw hurt. it’s like the process of breakup. you did an amazing job with these

I audibly gasped when she said Delilah was getting married. I’m genuinely invested in Delilah’s journey of healing and self-discovery.

I love how the lyrics transition from "it's what you DID to me" to "its what you DO to me." It's a perfect representation of how no matter how much we move on, some people will always mean the world to us. Very small but very impactful detail.

We were in a long distance relationship. "Hey there Delilah" was our song. After our breakup, i found "Hey it's Delilah". It broke me, because how loudly it spoke to me. Hearing this song 2 years later is kind of perfect.. I have finally found peace

I hope my ex fiancee hears this, Hey There Delilah was our song. I hope she found happiness in the end, despite me. Anyone still aching for their former partner, aren't you glad you got to love them even if it didn't last? Our time on earth is short, be happy for the love you had, look forward to the love you will find, and don't judge others by your pain. May God bless you each and every one

The sequel I didn’t know I wanted but definitely needed

"You're no longer what I need I just wanted to succeed We had our shot and now we’re free Now we are free" This song is amazing.

My daughter is having relationship trouble so I played her both videos in order to help her feel better. It calmed her down. Such sweet lyrics and story in both.

I love the sparkle in her eyes. She looks so happy and fulfilled!

This song is the reason I started following…here we are two years later!!! Watching you grow as an artist has been an absolute pleasure! Great job love you❤️❤️

i'm actually crying listening to this, this is so beautiful. Edit : 3 months later still crying to this

Lyrics like this show how a song doesn't have to be super vague and all-encompassing to touch people's hearts. Nowadays you rarely get a person's name in a song, let alone details like learning the guitar you borrowed from an ex, because everything has to be "relatable", but in reality those songs are just bland, whereas this one is so deeply moving. It's like the music industry has forgotten our capacity to empathise with stories that aren't quite the same as our own. Glad we can still find gems like this

this turned such a big smile on my face. I remember watching your first "hey it's delilah" version when I was going through a harsh break up and I would listen to it on repeat. Now 2 years later I've also moved on from that relationship and found peace :) love this version. amazing character development.

this was the song that started it all for me i heard it randomly last year and now here i am i so proud of jess!

Don't usually comment, but I wanted to share my story, if anyone cared . Almost 7 years aro, I met this guy in highschool. We were in the same music band, and he helped me so much. I was very shy and insecure about my singing, and did not felt legitimate to sing . He was so sweet and, I owe him the confidence and passion for music I still have, even tho it has became painful to even play music. We were close , or I thought we were . He made me feel special, appreciate and considerate. I still play our moment together in my head and they are still vivid even after all this time . But suddenly, he completely stopped talking to me. Without any reason that I'm aware of . From making my heart flutter and butterfly in my stomach, to a sharp pain everytime I saw him When I graduated , all the music bands did a concert . When came the time for his band to perform ( we were no longer in the same band ) , it was unbearably painful and I chose to go home. Even tho I knew it would be the last time I will ever see him. And indeed it was . And it was tearing me from inside to walk away, knowing that I would never see him again, and that we never said goodbye. I've heard from a mutual friend that he moved to the other side of the world to become a professional musician. I've also heard that he was doing amazing and starting to get recognized for his talent . I also know he has a girlfriend and I saw posts he did about her . Those posts are so sweet and he seems to be completely in love. I will never talk to him again, and yet I will never forget him. I look for him in every new person I meet and I remember him in every song i hear. Probably in a couple of years, he will come back home as a successful musican to do a concert . And I'll be the first one clapping, because I am so proud of him. I wish nothing but the best for him. But I wish I was part of his best. I am unable to fall in love again since him. Sorry for the rent. And thanks to whoever read this

I grew up with the original song and I can say that after listening to this song my life is complete.

"You're no longer what I need." Hits different in this song. It feels like healing and accepting, not something bitter and painful. Jessica you are a genius ❤️

HELL YEAH

Damn. I thought the first one was sad but the lines *Don't you worry about my feelings I met somebody new and he taught me about healing* just wrecked me. Thank you for giving us the happy ending we didn't know we needed.

This seems like the perfect closure to what seemed like a one-sided love story that would never end. I’ve reached this stage myself not too long ago. Thank you for putting my thoughts and feels into words.

The difference in the amount of pain and a slight hint of jealousy changing from the video two years ago to now it’s just it really brings Delilah story to life

"We had our shot now we are free".. Damn that part hits me hard everytime. Absolutely beautiful

Her facial expressions match the tone of the lyrics in each version. It’s breezy in my bedroom, I’m not crying you’re crying

I first heard “hey it’s Delilah” only a few months after I broke up with my boyfriend of nine years. I’ve been having an extremely hard time lately with loneliness. So oddly enough for like the last two weeks I rediscovered Delilah and have been listening to it daily. This version just made me bawl my eyes out. Gave me hope that I will be okay. Thank you. 🖤

My mind and voice recalls the original rendition of this and just hums or sings some of the verses. I'm so happy to see a sequel, what happened to Delilah in the time period. I'm glad she's happy and married.

The slight cracks in your tone, the smile that stays on your face, this song just feels so real. It's truly amazing to listen to this as it feels so grasping. It adds to a cliffhanger story of a song, and it has all the emotions of someone making peace with a Past lover after they broke their heart. I absolutely love this!

I love that you took a simple song we all loved as teenagers and made it into a beautiful 3 part story. I'm actually tearing up over this song because of how beautiful it is and what you did with Delilah's story.

this was the song that brought me to your channel. hey its Delilah was so amazing and this version is absolutely beautiful. i love how it tells a story of two separate lives and i just love it so much! i hope it comes out on spotify! 🤞🏼much love to all! 💚💚💚

Wow okay I got CHILLS at these lyrics. So insightful and heartfelt and wise. And so sweet! It seems to be the story of Delilah finding closure and growing and moving on. Love this!! Thank you for making such beautiful music, I can’t wait to follow where you go from here! 💖

I don’t think you realize how much healing these two versions have actually been for me. You’re so talented. I love these genuine moments of expression we get to see that isn’t tainted by the big industry. Keep it up kid ❤

😭😭the closure I’ve been looking for. Omfg.

SHE DOES IT AGAIN FOLKS!! I hope this goes more viral than the Omicron variant

ive cried listening to both versions and I would love if this was added to your Spotify too

I love this version so so much. Will it ever be on Spotify?

Now we need a tv series called ‘Delilah’ directed by Jessica. I’m too invested now

this is going to make my day for sure. ive been having a tough couple months 🙂

Don't know if I've ever started crying so quickly into a song before.

Your singing is genuinely calming to me, i've had a rough year and this is my peace. Thank you. Its what you did for me.

This delilah trilogy songs would be perfect script for a love thriller movie.You're brilliant Jessica.

Can't believe it's been two years I'm more than tearing up right along with you ♡♡♡

i love this version🥺❤️

My best friend from high school and I listened to the original song constantly. I was crazy in love with her, and she was oblivious. She didn't have the best home life, and all of our friends just knew we would end up together and turn her life around. To buy into that stuff but we were in HS and believed it all. She dated around, and I stayed there as the friend for as long as I could. She had a bad break up that sent her down a bad path. Drinking, drugs, etc. Never graduated high school, and we grew apart. I grew up quickly after high school and started dating some wonderful women. They didn't last, and in between each serious relationship, my old friend and I would grow a little bit closer and closer. She had a kid or two at this point, and I wasn't ready to be a father figure. Regardless, we could never get it figured out or make it work. It wasn't meant to be, I guess. I met my wife and we've been together for 13 years. Meanwhile, my friend has been married twice and has two kids from two different guys. Last we really talked she was still making bad decisions, and after nearly a decade of watching her make those decisions, I just couldn't do it anymore. I haven't talked to her since and I always felt like I let her down and deserted her. I find myself occasionally checking her FB and IG and it seems like she's finally found what she needed. She's doing well, bought her own house and dating, what seems to be, a great guy. There are so many lines in this song that hit hard and make me think of her. I'm so happy for Delilah and H if you're reading this I'm happy for you too.

I’m so glad Delilah is doing a lot better after 2 years. ❤️

Kind of want to share my brothers story, because I guess it’s kinda fitting. My brother was in the 7th grade when he met this girl, they fell in love pretty quickly. It was his first girlfriend, and they were on and off until he graduated high school. They were really toxic, broke up then got back together. She messed with him a lot, and he started self medicating with drug abuse and alcohol abuse. Their mutual best friend died in a car crash (she was a year younger than them and a junior.) Then, we moved from the forgotten state and small town, to a tropical area in Florida. He started making 1 grand every 2 weeks straight out of high school as an intern for digital dentistry. He fell in love with a co-worker, and now they’re having a baby girl named Delilah. His ex is getting married now too, and he’s moving back to our small town to raise his kid, show his girl where he’s from, and find peace within his heart. They’ve both come so far. She’s taking therapy consistently for her childhood trauma, taking anti-depressants. My brother had a long and brutal recovery, but his fiancé saved him, and he rarely drinks. He’s going back to school to support his kid. Sometimes, you might not end up together, but you grow from each other. And, to add on, their distance really was 1000 miles apart and it’s been 2 years.

Your aura and voice have a slight resemblance to Dolly Parton... Absolutely magical.

I’m not crying, you’re crying. Those lyrics are everything.

The amount of acceptance and peace in her voice and the bittersweet pain in her eyes hit me so hard because that's exactly how it feels after getting over someone, bittersweet.

Hey there, Delilah What's it like in New York city? I'm a thousand miles away But, girl, tonight you look so pretty Yes, you do Time square can't shine as bright as you I swear, it's true Hey there, Delilah Don't you worry about the distance I'm right there if you get lonely Give this song another listen Close your eyes Listen to my voice, it's my disguise I'm by your side Oh, it's what you do to me Oh, it's what you do to me Oh, it's what you do to me Oh, it's what you do to me What you do to me Hey there, Delilah I know times are gettin' hard But just believe me, girl Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar We'll have it good We'll have the life we knew we would My word is good Hey there, Delilah I've got so much left to say If every simple song I wrote to you Would take your breath away I'd write it all Even more in love with me you'd fall We'd have it all Oh, it's what you do to me Oh, it's what you do to me Oh, it's what you do to me Oh, it's what you do to me A thousand miles seems pretty far But they've got planes and trains and cars I'd walk to you if I had no other way Our friends would all make fun of us And we'll just laugh along because we know That none of them have felt this way Delilah, I can promise you That by the time we get through The world will never ever be the same And you're to blame Hey there, Delilah You be good, and don't you miss me Two more years and you'll be done with school And I'll be makin' history like I do You'll know it's all because of you We can do whatever we want to Hey there, Delilah, here's to you This ones for you Oh, it's what you do to me Oh, it's what you do to me Oh, it's what you do to me Oh, it's what you do to me What you do to me Oh, whoa, whoa Oh whoa, oh Oh, oh

This song is just amazing, i listen to it every single day and can't get tired of it

My Angel😇Baby's name is Delilah & I buried her as a still born when I was 16😢 So the Delilah song has always been close to my heart ♥ Out of NO WHERE this song popped up on my feed! And my name is Jess 😮 Love you 🤱 Baby and will always be your Mommy even if we didn't get to spend it down here! 💜🙏🕊😇 Thank you for this Beautiful Song! Definitely in my Playlist now!

Love this ❤❤

Thank you for these.

Going through a breakup, the past two weeks have been really tough. Hearing this song gives me hope and makes me feel much lighter. I don't hate my ex anymore. Thank you, Jessica. You are an angel ♥

I came across this song a month or so ago and I fell in love. You’re as gorgeous as your beautiful voice and I can’t wait! Don’t let anyone hold you back from realizing your potential & talent❤️

Beautiful, thank you

congrats on 200k!

I never saw part one and youtube algorithm brought me here tonight. I have to tell you I bawled my eyes out! Wow. The story, the comparison, the message, the delivery. Delilah, I am very proud of you too. And Jessica, you've got a gift. This is gorgeous!

I remember when I first started watching your covers. You had less than 10,000 subscribers. Within a few months you were over 100 thousand subscribers. I've loved all your covers and originals including this one. I look forward to seeing more covers and originals and watching you climb the charts. ❤️🎶❤️🎶❤️

Absolutely love this.

I LOVE this.

I really needed this, I love your singing and keep up the good work

This was so beautiful! Didn't think you could top your first Delilah cover/remix. But Damn if I couldn't be more wrong. Someone contact 'Plain White Ts' and make sure they see this version. I believe they saw the first. But now it's grown up, and I think they'd love it. They should definitely bring you on tour, if they still tour. They sing 'Hey there Delilah' then you come out and sing 'Hey its Delilah.' It would be epic and I would die to see that show.

Beautiful, thank you!

Loved it. 🔥

You've done it. You made a song turn into a history from beginning to a (beautiful and peaceful) end. I'm not crying, you are

The lyrics in this song are what the essence of songs about life should be. Character development, growth, reflection, and eventually you'll get songs like this... Perfection. It's been an incredible 2 years, It has not been easy for you but it has been powerful. Keep up the incredible work.

Love this

love this!

Your singing is so comforting...it feels like a warm hug.

Whatever you're doing as an artist is working, because I'm feeling genuinely emotional at that

That made me cry... Hard to match the original, but you pulled it off babe...Beautiful Thank You🤗

Beautiful!

Beautiful.

Wow this was really cool! We got to see the closure of the heartbreak, not something we get to see all that often. Plus it's cool to see your growth as an artist! Keep it up!!

Two years later and I am still hear and still loving the music. It’s what you did for me!

so good and so much calming❤

I listened to this in the dark with my eyes closed and actually started crying. I’m so happy to see such great music being made, thank you for writing, performing and recording a song that could make me feel this way.

Sooo excited for this!!!! I must have listened to the original hundreds of times ❤️🥺

That was beautiful, loved it.

Absolutely love this song

I can’t even believe how much you’ve changed, this channel has grown, but your voice and this song still reminds me of where I was in my life when I heard it. Thank you and congratulations ❤️

This song breaks my heart, yet at the same time makes me so happy for Delilah. Great work!

This is so amazing. True talent

Wow I really love this

I listen to this everyday. It makes me so happy. I think it’s the mixture of her voice and the lyrics. This is truly amazing, Jessica. Love you

Woh, I didn’t realize how invested I was in this characters story. You really crushed it with her update. So cool to see this song but also your music evolve.

omg. so beautiful

You have an amazing voice!!
