Paul Gordon - I'm a Beast (Reprise) (as it relates to The Scarlet Letter) lyrics

I'm a beast I'm a disappointment And I've earned your contempt I was rash, I was wrong Oh Jerusha, I'm no good at being strong So many times I wanted to tell you But I lost my nerve Now I feel your scorn and frustration It's a bitter blow I well deserve I'm a beast I was overzealous Guess I have a jealous heart I was daft, I was blind But Jerusha, I never meant to be unkind
