This is what he said in an interview with Clash magazine:
CLASH : What inspired the lyrics of "Never Learnt to share"? Was it a lament at being an only child?
JAMES BLAKE : (Smiles)Possibly,yeah. I mean I don't think I thought of that at the time,but maybe you could extrapolate that

because they don't exist.
