Lyrics

[Intro]

Whose fault?

[Chorus]

Let's play the blame game, I love you more

Let's play the blame game for sure

Let's call out names, names, I hate you more

Let's call out names, names for sure

[Verse 1]

I'll call you **** for short

As a last resort and my first resort

You call me **** for long

At the end of it, you know we both are wrong

[Chorus]

But I love to play the blame game, I love you more

Let's play the blame game for sure

Let's call out names, names, I hate you more

Let's call out names, names for sure

[Verse 2]

On the bathroom wall I wrote

I'd rather argue with you than to be with someone else

I took a **** and dismiss it, like **** it

And I went and found somebody else

Arguin' and harvestin' the feelings

Yo, I'd rather be by my **** self

Till about 2 AM and I call back

And I hang up and I start to blame myself

Somebody help

[Chorus]

Let's play the blame game, I love you more

Let's play the blame game for sure

Let's call out names, names, I hate you more

Let's call out names, names for sure

[Verse 3]

You weren't perfect but you made life worth it

Stick around, some real feelings might surface

Been a long time since I spoke to you

In the bathroom, grippin' you up **** and chokin' you

What the hell was I supposed to do?

I know you ain't gettin' this type of **** from that local dude

And if you are, I hope you have a good time

'Cause I definitely be havin' mine

[Bridge]

And you ain't finna see a mogul get emotional

Every time I hear about other **** that's strokin' you

Lyin', say I hit you, they sittin' there, consolin' you

Rubbin' my name through the mud, who's provoking you?

You should be grateful a **** like me ever noticed you

Now you noticeable and can't nobody get control of you

1 AM and can't nobody get a hold of you

I'm callin' your brother's phone, like what was I supposed to do?

[Bridge]

Even though I knew he never told the truth

He was just gon' say whatever that you told him to

At a certain point I had to stop askin' questions

You got dirt on each other, like mud wrestlers

I heard he bought some coke with my money, that ain't right, girl

You gettin' blackmailed for that white, girl

You always said, Yeezy, I ain't your right girl

You probably find one of them, I like art type girls

All of the lies, you just caught in that hype, girl

And I was satisfied bein' in love with a lie

Now who to blame? You to blame? Me to blame?

For the pain, it be pourin' every time when it rains

[Chorus]

Let's play the blame game, I love you more

Let's play the blame game for sure

[Verse 4]

Things used to be, now they're not

Anything but us is who we are

Disguising ourselves as secret lovers

We've become public enemies

We walk away like strangers in the street

Gone for eternity, we erased one another

So far from where we came with so much of everything

How did we leave with nothing?

Lack of visual empathy equates the meaning of L-O-V-E

Hatred and attitude tear us entirely

Chloe Mitchell

[Chorus]

Let's play the blame game, I love you more

Let's play the blame game for sure

Let's call out names, names, I hate you more

Let's call out names, names for sure

[Bridge]

I can't love you this much

I can't love you this much

I can't love you this much

I can't love you this much

I can't love you this much

No, I can't love you this much

I can't love you this much

I can't love you this much

[Verse 5]

And I know that you are somewhere doin' your thing

And when the phone call, it just ring and ring

You ain't pick up, but your phone accidentally called me back

And I heard the whole thing

I heard the whole thing, whole thing, whole thing, whole thing
