Cat Power - I Don't Blame You Lyrics






Last time I saw you, you were on stage
Your hair was wild, your eyes were bright
And you were in a rage
You were swinging your guitar around
Cuz they wanted to hear that sound
But you didn't want to play
And I don't blame you

I don't blame you

Been around the world, in many situations
Been inside many heads in different positions
But you never wanted them that way
What a cruel price you thought that you had to pay
Them back for all that shit on stage
But it never made sense to them anyway
Could you imagine when they turned their backs
They were only scratching their heads
Cuz you simply deserve the best
And I don't blame you

I don't blame you

They said you were the best
But then they were only kids
Then you would recall the deadly houses you grew up in
Just because they knew your name
Doesn't mean they know from where you came
What a sad trick you thought that you had to play
But I don't blame you

They never owned it
And you never owed it to them anyway

I don't blame you

  5. M.... A....

    One of the best

  6. D.... J....

    She knew Kurt was an outcast and kicked out of the house by his dad and mother! Can you believe that! Maybe he was rebellious and made trouble but they still gave up on him. In retrospect, they look like bad parents and idiots!

    D.... J....

    what happened? who is Kurt??

    D.... J....

    A ·.· Kurt Cobain, a famous rock singer for the band Nirvana. He had a rough story, ending with him committing suicide. It’s heartbreaking what he went through

  7. N.... R....

    This Influenced the track "16 steps" by Japanese breakfast. I know it

  8. E.... F....

    Rest In Peace, Kurt

  9. m.... 1....

    I know in later years she claimed it was about Kurt...but honestly, I don't believe it. I think its autobiographical, detailing Chan's oft-outrageous stage behavior. She is in fact talking to herself here.

    m.... 1....

    wow it does make more sense as that

    m.... 1....

    Interesting take

    m.... 1....

    @Joshua Abramson really, bro

    m.... 1....

    I agree. I think both honestly. She may have saw some of herself in Kurts story. Good observation =)

    I love this. makes me miss Kurt more and more... this song and Tear Jerker by RHCP.. this one is just prettier. when you read the lyrics it's a damn letter to him almost.
