Pet Shop Boys - So Sorry, I Said lyrics

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
