Cover art for Blame lyrics by Everything but the Girl

I think this song might be about a man or woman who became a mother/father very young and chose chose to put their child up for adoption. And now he/she is experiencing some sadness, guilt or shame about it, wondering where the child is. And perhaps feeling like maybe they made a mistake in giving the child up. But they're saying that they're to blame for everything they're feeling now.

Also, there are a few lyrics missing at the end:

now you forgot the words, please don't forget your name. and who gave that to you? well, that was me again. who let you down and loved you? that was me again and who's the one to blame? that was me again. i'm the one to blame.
