“Blame Brett” by The Beaches explores the well-known narrative of a person who has been hurt in the past, and is now adopting a defensive and non-committal attitude towards future relationships. This is a classic theme, often featured in teen and young adult-oriented pop, which is all the more relat...
[Verse 1]
Done being the sad girl
I'm done dating rockstars
From now on, only actors
Tall boys in the Raptors
I'll become an asshole
Disguised as a bad girl
In my button-up shirt
A natural disaster
Hey
[Pre-Chorus]
You could be my baby, baby, baby
You could be my baby boy, they, lady
You could be my baby, baby, maybe
Oh, oh
[Chorus]
I'm sorry in advance
I'm only gonna treat you bad
I'm probably gonna let you down
I'm probably gonna sleep around
So sorry in advance
Before you take off your pants
I wouldn't let me near your friends
I wouldn't let me near your dad
[Post-Chorus]
But don't blame me, blame Brett
Blame my ex, blame my ex, blame my ex
Don't blame me, blame Brett
Blame my ex, blame my ex, blame my ex
[Verse 2]
That's why I won't get vulnerable
Don't you dare get comfortable
Heartbreak is impossible
Feelings doing somersaults
I'm not ready for therapy
To take accountability
Right now it's about me
Me and only 'bout me
Hey
[Pre-Chorus]
You could be my baby, baby, baby
You could be my baby boy, they, lady
You could be my baby, baby, maybe
Oh, oh
[Chorus]
I'm sorry in advance
I'm only gonna treat you bad
I'm probably gonna let you down
I'm probably gonna sleep around
So sorry in advance
Before you take off your pants
I wouldn't let me near your friends
I wouldn't let me near your dad
[Post-Chorus]
But don't blame me, blame Brett
Blame my ex, blame my ex, blame my ex
Don't blame me, blame Brett
Blame my ex, blame my ex, blame my ex
[Outro]
I'm only in it for the sex
That's why I'm never gonna love again
I'm only in it for the sex
Blame my ex, blame my ex, blame my ex
Don't blame me, blame Brett
Blame my ex, blame my ex, blame my ex
Don't blame me, blame Brett
Blame my ex, blame my ex, blame my ex

Jordan Miller:
If you listen to the song, it’s not actually about our breakup. I had been on this really weird date with this other guy—I won’t name his name!—and we had only been on three dates, and he told me that he loved me. And I was like, ‘Oh, wow, this is fresh off of my real severe breakup—...
