Blame It On Yourself Lyrics

I saw you walk into the store
Just as I was leaving
I don't know why it should matter
It's history repeating
I heard my name ring out through the air
I jumped onto the last bus
I'm looking back, you're fixing your hair
There's nothing left between us

Blame it on
Blame it on yourself
Blame it on
Blame it on yourself

Through the streets and down the hill
I stared out the window
Underneath I started to feel
Something had finally let go
Round the corner and to the end
I put my feet on the pavement
And for a moment I'm back again
Remembering what you once meant

Blame it on
Blame it on yourself
Blame it on
Blame it on yourself
Blame it on
Blame it on yourself
Blame it on
Blame it on yourself

I wonder how it's gonna feel
To mean nothing more to anyone

Blame it on
Blame it on yourself
Blame it on
Blame it on yourself
Blame it on
Blame it on yourself
Blame it on
Blame it on yourself

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Wow... no one commented yet D: Well I believe that this song is about a girl who just moved on from her horrible break up with her ex & now she's moved on, but then one day BAM! She sees him randomly as she was leaving a store. She felt a weird sense of deja vu (they prolly met this way) & panicked, she ran for the bus. When she looked back she sees her ex fixing his hair (I have a few theories about this... LOL) Then as she's in the bus, she started to daydream about the past when she wasn't as lonely, but the even as she's daydreaming, she already knew that her ex is a stuck up son of a _____. Then Ivy talks about wondering how it would feel if she means nothing more to anyone. I'm guessing this is pretty much her saying she's wondering how easy her life would be if she meant nothing to her ex & if her ex meant nothing to her. Or she could be saying that she feels so lonely & she feels as if so many people are important to her, yet she's nobody important to anyone xD She then finishes the song by telling her ex that it's all his fault... or she could also be talking about herself & how she blames herself because she believes that it's her fault that they broke up.
