Charli XCX - Track 10
[Intro]
(X-C-X, Charli)
(I just wanna spend the night)
I just wanna drink you up
Love, I do
Love, I do
Ooh
I blame it on your love
Love
[Verse 1]
Every time you get too close I run, I run away
And every time you say the words, I don't know what to say
Back, back to the beginnin'
Really wish that I could change
I do, I do (I do)
Every time you get too close I run, I run away
And every time you say the words, I don't know what to say
Back, back to the beginnin'
Really wish that I could change
I do, I do, I do
[Chorus]
I blame it on your love
Every time I fuck it up
I blame it on your love, I do
I blame it on your love
I can't help it, I can't stop
I blame it on your love, I do
I blame it on your love
Every time I fuck it up
I blame it on your love, I do
I blame it on your love
I can't help it, I can't stop
I blame it on your love, I do
"Track 10" speaks to the internal struggle of loving someone and also trying to keep a healthy amount of distance in order to protect oneself. The protagonist blames the powerful love they have for this person as the reason why they cannot help but become wrapped up in their affections, even if it brings them pain or true love seems to elude them. The song captures a feeling of longing, regret, and hope that someone's love is enough to carry them through the hard times. Ultimately, it is up to the listener to decide exactly what the song means to them.
