Blame
Calvin Harris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Without the woman next to me
Guilt is burning, inside, I'm hurting
This ain't a feeling I can't keep
So blame it on the night
Don't blame it on me, don't blame it on me
Blame it on the night
Blame it on the night
Don't blame it on me, don't blame it on me
So blame it on the night
Don't blame it on me, don't blame it on me
Don't blame it on me
Can't you see it? I was manipulated
I had to let her through the door
Oh, I had no choice in this, I was the friend she missed
She needed me to talk
So blame it on the night
Don't blame it on me, don't blame it on me
Blame it on the night
Don't blame it on me, don't blame it on me
Blame it on the night
Don't blame it on me, don't blame it on me
So blame it on the night
Don't blame it on me, don't blame it on me
Don't blame it on me
Oh, I'm so sorry, so sorry, baby, yeah
(Oh, I promise I'll be better this time, I will be better this time)
Ooh, I got to say
(Oh, I promise I'll be better this time, I will be better this time)
I'm sorry, oh, I promise
(Oh, I promise I'll be better this time, I will be better this time)
Don't blame it on me
Don't blame it on me, yeah, yeah, yeah
The lyrics to Calvin Harris's song Blame touches on themes of guilt, manipulation, and regret. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, with the singer struggling to sleep without the woman next to him. He feels guilty for something and the weight of his guilt is causing him pain. The chorus repeats the phrase "blame it on the night" several times, with the singer pleading with someone not to blame him for something that happened during the night.
The second verse sheds more light on the situation, with the singer admitting that he was manipulated by a woman who "needed [him] to talk." He had no choice but to let her through the door, even though he may have known it was a bad idea. The chorus repeats once again, with the singer apologizing and promising to be better.
Overall, the lyrics to Blame paint a picture of a person struggling with the consequences of a bad decision. He knows he messed up but is trying to shift the blame onto external factors like the night or the woman who manipulated him.

Can't be sleeping, keep on wakin'
I am unable to sleep and I keep waking up from my sleep
Without the woman next to me
The woman who used to sleep beside me is no longer there
Guilt is burning, inside, I'm hurting
I feel guilty and it is causing me pain and distress
This ain't a feeling I can't keep
This is a feeling that I cannot continue to experience
So blame it on the night
Blame the situation on the night or the cover of darkness
Don't blame it on me, don't blame it on me
Do not hold me responsible for what has happened
Can't you see it? I was manipulated
Can't you understand? I was taken advantage of and misled
I had to let her through the door
I had no choice but to allow her into my life
Oh, I had no choice in this, I was the friend she missed
I had no say in the matter, I was simply the friend she needed
She needed me to talk
She needed someone to talk to and I was the one she chose
Oh, I'm so sorry, so sorry, baby, yeah
I am filled with remorse and apologize deeply, my love
(Oh, I promise I'll be better this time, I will be better this time)
