Jack Harlow – Blame On Me Lyrics

Intro
Blame on me
Can’t hold back
Holding on for many
Oh, oh

Chorus
Put the blame on me
Put the blame on me, oh
Put the blame on me
Put the blame on me, oh

Verse 1
We grew up in the same household, for years, we were close
Throwing football in the yard till the lights turned on inside the lampposts
Years go by
Something changed when you got to junior high
Started hanging with them guys
Suddenly I meant nothing to you, you wanted nothing to do with me
You run with a crew that doesn’t include any room for your littlе brother
I was destroyed, but I still lovеd you
I still wanted your approval, if I could get it, I’d cherish it
Embarrassing me any chance you got, but I didn’t care
Because maybe if I was tough enough and take it, you would love me
Instead of looking at me like I’m disgusting
Like I’m nothing, like I’m not the person that you grew up with
I wanna reminisce and ask you if you miss those days, but I’m terrified of broaching the subject
I’m terrified to hear your answer, so I just don’t touch it
I don’t say nothing

Pre-Chorus
They say, “Run”
They say, “Different phases”
Oh, no way, oh

Chorus
Put the blame on me
Put the blame on me, oh
Put the blame on me
Put the blame on me, oh

Verse 2
We grew up in the same household, for years, we were close
One on one, I would dominate you in the post
Years pass, but the bond didn’t last
And I hate the man above the sink looking above me in the glass
Treated you like I hated you, never needed you
Even if I had the same opinion, disagreed with you
Insult after insult, hoping they’d eat at you
Poking at your deepest wounds
My baby brother, I don’t have an excuse
But I know you remember the way that dad would let loose on me more often and way less you
He criticized and tested me so I’d test you
I got so much wrongdoing to confess to
And you act like it never happened, God bless you
Huh, I’m terrified of broaching the subject
I’m terrified to even ask, so I just don’t touch it
I don’t say nothing

Pre-Chorus
They say, “Run”
They say, “Different phases”
Oh, no way, oh

Chorus
Put the blame on me
Put the blame on me, oh
Put the blame on me
Put the blame on me, oh

Verse 3
You grew up in my household, under my roof
Raised you with discipline and taught you life’s truths
Lashed out at you for things you’d misplace
Reprimanding you in public till you’re red in the face
Made you feel the weight of every single mistake that you made
My hot temper turned up full throttle
‘Cause I needed you to be your little brother’s role model
Everything that you do, he just gon’ follow
Don’t you understand?
It’s okay, I understand
‘Cause the way I parent you is how my mother did
And the way you treat your little brother’s how my older brother did
And now I’m not even my brother’s friend
There’s so much I would do and say if I could have it done again
But I’m terrified of broaching the subject
I’m terrified to break down, so I just don’t touch it
I don’t say nothing
