Blame It On The Rain

The lyrics describe someone regretting the end of a relationship. He admits that pride stopped him from apologizing, and now he wants his former partner back. Rather than accept responsibility, though, he repeatedly tells himself to blame the weather or the stars. The mood mixes regret with a catchy, playful insistence on avoiding the truth.

Rain and stars are convenient scapegoats: they stand for outside forces that cannot answer back or be hurt by blame. The line that the rain “won’t mind” makes this excuse sound almost comic. “Prove you were strong” suggests he treated saying sorry as a sign of weakness, while “blinded” implies that pride kept him from seeing what his behavior might cost.

The song can be heard as gently mocking the narrator’s excuses, even as it expresses genuine sadness about losing love. The repeated advice not to blame yourself conflicts with his admission that he chose pride and failed to say he was sorry. That tension leaves some room for interpretation: he may be jokingly avoiding responsibility, or struggling to face it while wishing he could undo the breakup.
