No One Is To Blame Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Bruiseberry 

Cover art for No One Is To Blame lyrics by Howard Jones

This song is about PURE CRAVING. Its about two people who want each other, but they cannot be. You cant help who you fall for, so "no one is to blame".

I do believe it is about infidelity that has NOT taken place, but is being debated, considering the lines: "Some break the rules And live to count the cost The insecurity is the thing that won't get lost"

The "breaking the rules" is the affair. "Living to count the cost" is the survival of the marriage/relationship that existed before the infidelity. The "insecurity that wont get lost" is the mistrust that remains after you have forgiven someone for cheating on you.

My Interpretation
