BLAME
Broken Promises: Unraveling the Heartache in Modern Hearts' 'BLAME'
Lyrics
It was only yesterday
Reflecting on a recent past, likely feeling a sense of proximity to certain events or emotions.
I was caught in the middle with you
Being stuck or involved in a situation alongside someone else.
Things are falling out of place
Sense of disorder or chaos in life, a feeling that things are not going as planned.
And nothing feels the same
Feeling of emotional detachment or numbness, where familiar things lack their usual impact.
Cause you hate my guts
The other person harbors strong negative feelings toward the speaker.
Now don't you yea
Confirmation seeking; asking the other person if they indeed hold resentment.
Go and blame it all on me
The other person is placing blame solely on the speaker for the situation.
But you've broken all your promises
Accusation that the other person has consistently failed to keep their commitments.
You took me for a fool
Feeling deceived or taken advantage of by the other person.
When I knew right from the start, admit you
The speaker was aware from the beginning but is urging the other person to acknowledge their lack of care or concern.
Never cared at all
Reiteration that the other person has never shown genuine care or concern.
Never cared at all
Repeating the lack of care or concern exhibited by the other person.
Some nights I wish we could just turn back the time
Desire to revert to a past time, suggesting a wish to alter the course of events.
Before things go change, maybe we'd sort it all out
Hoping that revisiting the past could resolve present conflicts or issues.
If I gave you my heart, would you break it
Questioning whether entrusting one's emotions to the other person would result in heartbreak.
And blame it all on me
Anticipating that if heartbreak occurs, the other person will put the blame on the speaker.
Blame it all on me
Reiteration of the expectation that blame will be shifted to the speaker.
I don't want these memories
Unwillingness to hold onto memories that cause emotional pain or pull the speaker back to the other person.
They only pull me back to you
Memories serving as a reminder of the connection with the other person, even if unwanted.
I don't wanna hear you plea
Unwillingness to listen to the other person's pleas or requests.
Would it ever change a thing
Doubt whether the other person's actions or pleas would make any difference.
When you fake it all
Accusation of the other person pretending or faking emotions.
Yeah I know you do
Certainty about the other person's insincerity or deception.
Go and blame it all on me yea
Reiteration that the blame is being unfairly placed on the speaker.
But you've broken all your
Repetition of the accusation of consistently breaking promises.
promises
Continued failure to uphold commitments by the other person.
You treat me like a tool
Comparison of being treated as an object or instrument rather than a person.
When I knew right from the start, admit you
Emphasis on the speaker's awareness from the beginning of the other person's lack of care.
Never cared at all
Restatement that the other person has never genuinely cared.
Never cared at all
Repetition of the lack of genuine care from the other person.
Some nights I wish we could just turn back the time

Before things go change, maybe we'd sort it all out
Hope that revisiting the past could resolve current issues or misunderstandings.
If I gave you my heart, would you break it
Questioning if trusting the other person with one's heart would result in heartbreak.
And blame it all on me

Blame it all on me
Reiteration of the expectation that blame will be shifted to the speaker.
Some nights I wish we could just turn back the time
