So Sorry, I said By "Liza" & "Neil"

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
