So Sorry, I Said

If this is a ghetto, I'm in it with you If it's just a prison, I'm locked in it too I tried to leave you but after all that we had said I went to pieces when I should have shouted and screamed instead So sorry, I said Your powers of persuasion, those quizzical eyes Have tired and tied me with innocent guile I would have walked out and after all the tears we shed I should have stalked out gone and painted the town bright red but instead So sorry, I said How tough it gets, don't talk to me about it To pay off your debts, I worked on overtime And you say you never believed in luck If you need a reason, consider me mad An old retainer, loyal and sad I bought my freedom but after all that we had shared I couldn't leave you, think of the skins I'd have to shed instead So sorry, I said So sorry, I said So sorry, I said
