On “Blame”, Novotny talks about his relationship with a person, which is slowly turning toxic. Novotny tries to fix it himself but the other person only wants to blame Novotny for their problems.
“Blame” was Novotny’s first release in 2019, and it was released through Cloudkid.
[Verse 1]
Tell me to break from your company
‘Cause I never knew what you thought of me
‘Cause you want to laugh like it used to be
And you’re just a face that’s fading facing time
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause we don’t talk like we used to do, to do
Yeah
Maybe I don’t hear you like I said I would
[Chorus]
Always telling lies
Tryna make me the bad guy
Baby, it’s a shame
‘Cause I ain't the one to blame
Blame, blame
I try to make it work
Yeah, I always put you first
You didn’t do the same
So I ain't the one to blame
Blame (blame, blame)
[Verse 2]
Tell me the truth but I’m just naïve
‘Cause I never know why you fuck with me
And you’re only happy when the bitter pleads
But you’re just a see-through ego on your knees
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause we don’t talk like we used to do, to do
Yeah
Maybe I don’t hear you like I said I would
[Chorus]
Always telling lies
Tryna make me the bad guy
Baby, it’s a shame
‘Cause I ain't the one to blame
Blame, blame
I try to make it work
Yeah, I always put you first
You didn’t do the same
So I ain't the one to blame
Blame (blame, blame)
[Bridge]
Bad, face the wall
Lay down my alibi
Always failing at that
Thought I found faith at home
[Chorus]
Always telling lies
Tryna make me the bad guy
Baby it's a shame
‘Cause I ain't the one to blame
Blame, blame
I try to make it work
Yeah, I always put you first
You didn’t do the same
So I ain't the one to blame, blame
