So Sorry I Said Songtext / Lyric

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 you 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 meant to walk out

after all the tears we'd 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've never believed in luck



If you need a reason

consider me mad

An old retainer

loyal and sad

I bought my freedom

after all that we have 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
