The story
A guarded heart gives up and likes the damage.
She walks in and the room goes from ruled and orderly to rubble, the safest heart in town cracking wide open. Now she cancels her plans, buys a vase she will never use, writes poems in a notes app, and smiles at her phone under the porch light, ready to blame every sleepless, beautiful change on you.
Lyrics
Verse 1
I was doin' fine before you walked into the room Had my life together, had a plan for getting through Then you smiled and everything I built came crashing down Now I'm standin' in the rubble of the safest heart in town
Pre-Chorus
I had rules, I had walls, I had reasons to be strong Then you came along and proved 'em all wrong
Chorus
I'mma blame it on you for the way my heart's on fire Blame it on you for takin' me higher Blame it on you for the butterflies and the sleepless nights And the way I'm smilin' at my phone beneath the porch light If lovin' you's a crime then I confess I'mma blame it on you for this beautiful mess
Verse 2
I cancelled all my plans just to hear you talk for hours Bought a vase I'll never use just to put you next to flowers I'm writin' poems in the notes app like some kind of lovesick fool And I don't even mind it, baby, I'mma blame it on you
Chorus
I'mma blame it on you for the way my heart's on fire Blame it on you for takin' me higher Blame it on you for the butterflies and the sleepless nights And the way I'm smilin' at my phone beneath the porch light If lovin' you's a crime then I confess I'mma blame it on you for this beautiful mess
Verse 3
My friends don't recognize me, they say I've gone and changed Got a glow about me like the sun after the rain I used to guard my heart like it was Fort Knox behind a moat Now it's wide open, baby, and you're the key and you're the boat
Bridge
I was black and white and you brought the color in I was barely breathin' and you were the wind So if this whole world asks me why I fell so fast and true I'll just smile and say it's simple, I'mma blame it all on you
