Sky Ferreira - I Blame Myself
Is it because you know my name
Or is it because you saw my face on the cover?
Either way it's all the same
It's like talking to a friend
Who's trying to be your lover
Underneath it all
I know it's not your fault
That you don't understand
I blame myself
How could you know what it feels like
To fight the hounds of hell?
You think you know me so well
How could you know what it feels like
To be outside yourself?
You think you know me so well
I just want you to realize I blame, I blame myself
Blame, blame, blame myself
I blame, I blame, blame myself for my reputation
I'm just a face without a choice
A choice you'd never like to guess what I think above the shoulders
10 years old without a voice
I feel like nothing's really changed
Now I'm just a little older
Underneath it all
I know it's not your fault
That you don't understand
I blame myself
How could you know what it feels like
To fight the hounds of hell?
You think you know me so well
How could you know what it feels like
To be outside yourself?
You think you know me so well
I just want you to realize I blame, I blame myself
Blame, blame, blame myself
I blame, I blame, blame myself for my reputation
Oh, I blame myself
Oh, I blame myself
Oh, I blame myself
Oh, I blame myself
How could you know what it feels like
To fight the hounds of hell?
You think you know me so well
How could you know what it feels like
To be outside yourself?
You think you know me so well
I just want you to realize I blame, I blame myself
Blame, blame, blame myself
I blame, I blame, blame myself for my reputation
Oh, I blame myself
Oh, I blame myself
Oh, I blame myself
Oh, I blame myself
"I Blame Myself" serves as a powerful exploration of the complex emotions and inner turmoil that celebrities often face, particularly when grappling with the weight of public opinion and scrutiny. Through introspective lyrics and emotive melodies, Ferreira poignantly conveys the struggles of maintaining an authentic identity in a world that often reduces individuals to mere public personas. It is the fifth track from Sky Ferreira's debut studio album, Night Time, My Time.
