Blame Lyrics

Can't be sleepin'
Keep on waking'
Without the woman next to me
Guilt is burning
Inside I'm hurting
This ain't a feeling I can't keep

So blame it on the night
Don't blame it on me
Don't blame it on me
Blame it on the night
Don't blame it on me
Don't blame it on me

Blame it on the night
Don't blame it on me
Don't blame it on me
So blame it on the night
Don't blame it on me
Don't blame it on me
Don't blame it on me

Can't you see it?
I was manipulated, I had
To let her through the door
I had no choice in this
I was a friend she missed
She needed me to talk

So blame it on the night
Don't blame it on me
Don't blame it on me
Blame it on the night
Don't blame it on me
Don't blame it on me

Blame it on the night
Don't blame it on me
Don't blame it on me
So blame it on the night
Don't blame it on me
Don't blame it on me
Don't blame it on me

Oh I'm so sorry, so sorry baby
Yeah (I'll be better this time, I will be better this time)
I got defense
(I'll be better this time, I will be better this time)
Oh I promise (I'll be better this time, I will be better this time)

Don't blame it on me
Don't blame it on me

I just heard this song the other day in the gym for the first time and man, did it take me back a few months. This song definitely addresses something that happens a lot when cheating occurs: blame on the circumstances (alcohol, the environment , etc) rather than an acceptance of responsibility, as Chmmr mentioned! My ex tried this on me a few months ago when he confessed to cheating. He found a way to blame his actions on anything else so that the responsibility wouldn't fall back on him and his own issues. As with the last few lines of the song, the cheater usually always come back begging for forgiveness! It doesn't always mean they've taken responsibility for their past decisions and hurt they've caused though.

@Am nor I know this comment was posted very long ago. But did everything went good with you? Because i am in the same phase where you were.

If you’ve heard it on the radio, you’ve probably wondered: Is Calvin Harris’ new single, “Blame,” about his relationship with ex-girlfriend Rita Ora? It’s a good question! “Blame” tells the story of a man who feels guilty about cheating on his partner, but isn’t willing to accept responsibility for his actions. “Blame it on the night, don’t blame it on me,” British singer John Newman pleads on the song’s frenzied chorus. Later, he apologizes and says that he’ll “be better” in the future - http://www.bustle.com/articles/39927-who-is-calvin-harris-blame-about-rita-ora-definitely-isnt-the-one

It's about these two guys who see that they've done wrong by cheating on their ex-girlfriends ("Guilt is burning/Inside I'm hurting") but they refuse to see that they couldn't let this liaison go ("I was a friend she missed/She needed me to talk").

My Interpretation
Cover art for Blame lyrics by Calvin Harris

I was blackmailed in order to talk to Calvin Harris in 2008. After that I gave my private videos of woman, 5 adult film stars. They all committed suicide in the video. They died on the bed and in the washroom and in the bath tub and jumped off a rope and down a cliff. They all died because I had no girlfriend and had to use femalr adult film stars or actors. I had a video of me and my past partners claiming they all had hpv viral. These were the recent porn star deaths and suicides after 2008.
