James Blake – I Never Learnt to Share Lyrics 2 years ago
Before researching this song, I interpreted it as being about having burnt bridges with family and dealing with the repercussions; his siblings don't speak to him due to a fault in his personality/actions. By acknowledging and accepting these faults, Blake can't "blame them," because he understands that he would do the same thing if he were in their shoes. I came to this conclusion more from my personal life rather than thinking about it through his life.

After a quick Google search, I know now that Blake is an only child and meant the song to moreso be a commentary on being one. The message is still profound nonetheless. I feel pretentious now lol.
