Maybe I'm the one to blame??

I absolutely love and adore the singer Ledisi. I'm scared to meet her because my only reaction would be to slap her for being so ignorant on this microphone. My favorite album of hers is Turn Me Loose, which holds one of my favorite tracks, Alone. (I do not claim rights to own this song or footage) Listen to the track and get into these lyrics.

You SAY that you still love

It's not in your actions, so what's the distraction?...

Please want you tell me the truth instead of always just leaving me alone...

Please tell me how did you and I become

Then change from WE to ME?

I see you changed and I'm the one to blame

'Cause I noticed everything and I never said a thing

So say what's on your mind, so we don't waste our time

Tryna hold on to loose ties

Please want you tell me the truth

Instead of always just leaving me here alone

In order not to make this to long, I won't post all the lyrics. Listen and adore it. For some reason my favorite line is "I see you changed and I'm the one to blame, cause I noticed everything and I never said a thing." Isn't that the truth most of the time? We sit idle watching this train wreck about to happen never saying what is on our mind. The way I interpret the song, she is telling her lover this past the point where she should have said something, but right before it all falls to pieces.

Imagine how different our situations would be if we spoke up for ourselves. Too often we expect our mate to know our every thought. If you ain't noticed by now, that don't work.

So moving forward in my quest to heal my heart, I vow to no longer sit quiet and wait on the train wreck to happen. If we ever want to see change, in any aspect of our life, we must first be that change. Take the time to talk...find out what the real issues are. Most of the time we will find that the issues are quite small.

I refuse to be the one to blame in the future.
