Love's To Blame
for King Country Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've thought through it all
How we loved and loved
And how we fought each other,
Pushing one another to be somebody else
And time and time
I wrestled my thoughts
And whether we should be together
Or with somebody else
That last memory,
She had water in her eyes
She cried stay with me
And asked how can this be love if you're leaving me?
But darling, love's to blame
And I can't see you right now
'Cause I just can't fake it
Come be near you right now
'Cause I know you're no longer mine
I can't see you
It makes me ache
That we had to break
That even though I knew we had it so well
We're strangers in different places though we live a mile apart
My best friend's gone,
My world has been torn
We'll never share a name
Never be one
But I will always remember the years we spent in love
I still think of you
I pray that you are safe
I'm still missing you
But it has to be this way cause I'm not right for you
And that's why love's to blame
And I can't see you right now
'Cause I just can't fake it
Come be near you right now
'Cause I know you're no longer mine
And I can't see you right now
'Cause I just can't take it
Come be near you right now
'Cause I know you're no longer mine
And I can't see you
No I can't see you
I just can't see you right now
Maybe time will heal our hearts
Maybe after time you'll understand
I said goodbye but I love you
And I can't see you right now
'Cause I just can't fake it
Come be near you right now
'Cause I know you're no longer mine
And I can't see you right now
'Cause my heart just can't take it
Come be near you right now
'Cause I know you're no longer mine
And I can't see you
No I can't see you
I just can't see you right now
And I can't see you
No I can't see you
I just can't see you right now

Line by Line Meaning
Time and time
Repeating events of the past
You've thought through it all
Exhausted every idea and outcome
How we loved and loved
Expressed intense affection for one another
And how we fought each other,
Engaged in argumentative conflict
Pushing one another to be somebody else
Trying to change one another's identity
And time and time
Continual repetition
I wrestled my thoughts
Struggled with my own thinking
Uncertain if the end was right or wrong,
Not sure if parting ways was the best decision
And whether we should be together
Questioning if we belong in a relationship
Or with somebody else
Wondering if we would be better off with someone else
That last memory,
A recollection of a significant moment
She had water in her eyes
She was crying
She cried stay with me
Pleading for me to stay
And asked how can this be love if you're leaving me?
Questioning how true love can end in separation
But darling, love's to blame
Love caused our hearts to break
And I can't see you right now
I cannot handle seeing you at this moment
'Cause I just can't fake it
I cannot pretend that everything is okay
Come be near you right now
Drawn towards you but cannot be with you
'Cause I know you're no longer mine
Aware that our relationship has ended
It makes me ache
It causes me emotional pain
That we had to break
Our relationship had to come to an end
That even though I knew we had it so well
Despite the fact that we had a great relationship
We're strangers in different places though we live a mile apart
Now we are strangers despite living close to each other
My best friend's gone,
I lost my best friend
My world has been torn
My life has been shattered
We'll never share a name
We will never belong to each other
Never be one
We will never be a committed couple
But I will always remember the years we spent in love
I will reminisce about the time we shared together
I still think of you
Thoughts of you still linger in my mind
I pray that you are safe
I hope that you are secure and out of harm's way
I'm still missing you
I still feel the absence of your presence
But it has to be this way cause I'm not right for you
We had to part because I am not the best match for you
And that's why love's to blame
Love caused the end of our relationship
Maybe time will heal our hearts
Perhaps time will ease the pain that we feel
Maybe after time you'll understand
With time, you will comprehend why we parted
I said goodbye but I love you
Although we said our farewells, I still have love for you
And my heart just can't take it
My emotions are too intense to handle right now
