[Verse 1]
If this is a ghetto
I'm in it with you
If it's just a prison
I'm locked in it too
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Your powers of persuasion
Those quizzical eyes
Have tired and tied me
With innocent guile
[Chorus]
I meant to walk out
After all the tears we shed
I should have stalked out
Gone and painted the town bright red but instead
"So sorry", I said
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
You need a reason
Consider me mad
An old retainer
Loyal and sad
[Chorus]
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
If this is a ghetto
I'm in it with you
If it's just a prison
I'm locked in it too
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Your powers of persuasion
Those quizzical eyes
Have tired and tied me
With innocent guile
[Chorus]
I meant to walk out
After all the tears we shed
I should have stalked out
Gone and painted the town bright red but instead
"So sorry", I said
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
You need a reason
Consider me mad
An old retainer
Loyal and sad
[Chorus]
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
