I Don't Blame You at All
Love's Deception: Unraveling the Layers of 'I Don't Blame You at All'
Lyrics
I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool
I understand and do not hold you responsible because you acted calmly
You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool
You are not obligated to repay me anything as I willingly acted foolishly
No no no no no
Emphatic repetition of "no" to emphasize the lack of blame
I'm only payin' the price for a trip I took to paradise
I am facing the consequences of a journey I took to paradise
'Cause I looked into a pair of eyes
I looked into someone's eyes
& what I thought was the look of love was only hurt in disguise
What I thought was love turned out to be disguised hurt
Too bad I didn't realize, oh but don't apologize, no, 'cause...
Regret for not realizing the deception, but no need for apologies
I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool
No blame is attributed to you because you acted cool
I should've did it myself
I should have handled the situation differently
You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool
I am not expecting anything from you as I willingly played the fool
No no no no no
Emphatic repetition of "no" to stress the lack of blame
I think it's pretty plain: holdin' you would take a ball & chain
It is evident that being with you would be burdensome
Every bet I made was all in vain
All the risks I took were in vain
'Cause what I thought was an ocean of love was just a wee drop of rain
What I perceived as deep love was just a small disappointment
Too bad that it couldn't rain, oh but you don't have to explain, no, 'cause...
Regret for the missed opportunity, but no need for an explanation
I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool
No blame is assigned to you as you played it cool
I should've did it myself
I should have taken control of the situation myself
You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool
You are not indebted to me as I willingly played the fool
No no no no no
Emphatic repetition of "no" to emphasize the lack of blame
I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool
No blame is placed on you because you acted cool
That's the thing to do
Acting cool is the appropriate course of action
You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool
I am not expecting anything from you as I willingly played the fool
No no no no no
Emphatic repetition of "no" to stress the lack of blame
I said, what I thought was sure to last, to last was just a minute instead
What I believed to be long-lasting turned out to be fleeting
Too bad that I got misled, ah but you don't have to hang your head, no,
Regret for being misled, but no need for shame
'cause...
No blame is attributed to you because you played it cool
I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool
I should have handled the situation differently myself
I should've did it myself
You are not obligated to repay me anything as I willingly played the fool
You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool
Emphatic repetition of "no" to emphasize the lack of blame
No no no no no
No blame is assigned to you as you played it cool
I don't blame you at all 'cause you played it cool
I should have taken control of the situation myself
'Cause that's the thing to do
Acting cool is the appropriate course of action
You don't owe me a thing 'cause I played the fool
You are not indebted to me as I willingly played the fool
No no no no no
Emphatic repetition of "no" to stress the lack of blame
