Pet Shop Boys So Sorry, I Said (Demo For Liza) 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 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 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

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, 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
