Blame Me

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Oh, no)
Yeah
I'll admit it, I be tripping 'bout the small shit
Insecure is what you call it
Say you don't trust me, then what is the point of all this?
Say I'm trippin', I'm bitchin', you 'bout to call it quits
I got a void in my heart, baby, I can't let it go
Feel the connection, but somehow I feel like I'm alone
Too gone to hold onto the pain, gotta move on
How I let my past fuck up what we got going on?
I done been let down
And it got you stressed out
Gettin' it off of my chest now
Tired of being let down
I can't help my past
You can blame it on my last
I can't help my past
But it's holding me back
I just need some reassurance, show me you all in
Baby, fuck me like you love me, like you fresh out the pen
If I could do it all over, I'd do it again
Now I move better than the way I moved back then
Shit, this ain't perfect, it's a vibe
We be on some gang shit like we Bonnie and Clyde
We ride or die
But this shit bottled up inside
He say "Fuck the past, and put that hurt to the side"
But shit, I'm tryin'
I got a void in my heart, baby, I can't let it go
I'm protecting myself of what I been through before
Good at covering up the pain, but it's gettin' old
How I let my past fuck up what we got going on?
I done been let down
And it got you stressed out
Gettin' it off of my chest now
Tired of being let down
I can't help my past
You can blame it on my last
I can't help my past
But it's holding me back
Ooh, oh
Oh
No
Ooh, oh
Oh
No
In "Blame Me," Mulatto sings about the difficulties she's facing in her relationship due to her insecurities and past traumas. She is aware that her behavior is causing problems, but she can't seem to control it. She expresses feeling alone and disconnected from her lover despite feeling a connection between them, and expresses the frustration of past relationships that have caused her to be guarded, making it hard to let go of the past and move on. The song comes across as an honest confession where Mulatto is taking ownership of her actions while at the same time wanting her lover to understand her.
Mulatto's vulnerability and honesty in this song are commendable. She laid bare her emotions and gave her listeners a window into her struggles with self-doubt and insecurity when it comes to love. The fact that she can acknowledge her mistakes and accept accountability for her actions creates a sense of empathy, making listeners feel like everyone has a past that they must accept, learn from and let go of.
