Beginner Gardening: Can you help me save this plant?!?, 1 by jleigh

This WAS an azalea my hubby bought for Valentine's Day from proflowers.com. It was fine until a few weeks ago when it slowly started to look like this.

I am watering it regularly, when I water everything else that is waiting to be put into the garden. But it is STILL dry. The leaves fall off if you breathe on them, and it has tried to flower but those dry up within a day as well. On top of watering it daily, I have it sitting in a container full of water so it can suck up as much as it needs, it shouldn't be dry!

What can I do to bring it back? Can it be saved? Should/can I cut it back and hope it lives? (And if so, how much do I cut off?) I'm really lost when it comes to this plant. It only came with a tag that said where it was from.
