'Hey It's Delilah' 2 Years Later (Jessica Ricca)

LOL let me know why I was tearing up writing this? Delilah was a big part of me beginning my music journey and I feel like she has grown up and so have I as well. I thought It would only be right, two years later, to finish Delilah's story. I hope you enjoy!

LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH! wouldn't be making music if it weren't for all of you and I mean it!!!

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

[TimothyRichard]

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

[gaurisingh]

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 <3

[aidancoy]

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.

[bornbemurderous]

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

[erickquinteros]

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

[mohammedayyad]

"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.

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

"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 ❤️

[craftycram]

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

[FuxkChewy]

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

[JadeDragoness]

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.

[rayachristiansen]

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❤️❤️

[seeunsbff]

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!

[sandcoffin]

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

[denisacirstov]

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

[myms]

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.

[witchynymph]

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

[noteem]

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.
