Still not really saying much new here. The only case a delivery could be intently sad and not come across right is if the delivery simply don't fit the mood of the piece. If you're talking about a happy subject in a sad way, then sure.. but the only way I see this happening is purposefully and to prove your point alone, not in any real music.
Like I said, you're right in that the words themselves can have their own inlaid emotion, but in a song that emotion WILL NEVER be heard. Only through the way the words are delivered will emotion be portrayed properly.. Unless you're reading the lyrics, in which case I don't care to argue about that because that's something different all together.
Still, it remains part of lyricism. I'm not saying you're wrong, 'cause you're right, without the proper delivery it won't be emotional music; however, since lyricism is the craft of writing, and writing emotional packed lyrics is part of that, I still believe that ''emotion'' is an aspect of lyricism. The things you write depicting a certain feel is what people usually refer to as emotional writing. Take Joe Budden for example, he often has certain references to his personal life in his bars that portray an emotion, that is the emotional aspect of writing. Like how rhyming and wordplay is part of the tools one uses to write, emotional phrasing is one as well.
