My lover looks me in the eye
Says, baby, you failed me
If your love is really true
Why donât I feel set free?
Bail me out, baby,
Iâm not meant for this prison cell
So I fought for him
How could I know heâd brought it on himself?
So now Iâd 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
Itâs fair I swear
My penance for his pride
So now Iâd 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 isnât good enough
And it finally occurred to me
Why his life is so damn rough
So now Iâd 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 âtil the day that I die
But I tried
I tried
I tried
I tried
I tried
