My lover looks me in the eye Says, baby, you failed me If your love is really true Why don't I feel set free? Bail me out, baby, I'm not meant for this prison cell So I fought for him How could I know he'd brought it on himself? So now I'd like to say Final score aside That even though I failed in your eyes I tried I tried So I bailed him out with all my cash I bailed him out with my love Distracted all the prison guards With storms I begged from above I even pulled the warden over to one side I said me for him It's fair I swear My penance for his pride So now I'd like to say Final score aside That even though I failed in your eyes I tried I tried With all the pain in this world that my love Could go to change How could I fail in freeing only one man From his own cage? You know, it hurts to think of him Cursing me for leaving And it hurts to think of me No longer believing But in the end he told me Sorry isn't good enough And it finally occurred to me Why his life is so damn rough So now I'd like to say Final score aside That even though I failed in your eyes I know I hurt you Maybe I lied So blame me 'til the day that I die But I tried I tried I tried I tried I tried
