Matt Brevener dropped the visuals for his single “Not to blame” off his album “The Bushido project”. He offers a thought-provoking video, which follows a young woman as she strolls at night through the rainy streets of New York. She struggles in her relationships with men due to her past while blaming herself for her current circumstance. Without a solid foundation for what a relationship should be, she continues to make the same mistakes guy after guy. She needs to look for something deeper than mere infatuation. The deep song tells her to stop blaming herself and to learn to love herself.

Not to blame by Matt Brevner
Lyrics to Not to blame by Matt Brevener
He makes you feel like its your fault, when he breaks your heart with a single phone call
He’s got your self worth in the palm of his hand
And Daddy wasn’t there when you were growing up
And Momma tried her best, but sure enough
You’ve never really known true love from a man
You cry and you cry, you cry yourself to sleep
Guy after guy, with your heart on your sleeve
You make the same mistakes over and over again
Why, oh why don’t you know your self worth
I can see it in your eyes, I hear it in your words
You feel as though its your fault, but all you really need is a friend
You’re not to blame
Girl you’re not to blame
You are not to blame for everything you’ve been through, you are just perfect, and they’re not worth it
Save the tears for another day
I hope she can just figure it out
‘Cuz she don’t really know whats real, and its hard to watch
But I know, girl I can see your next move
You’ve got nothing to prove, but your downfall is hard to stop
Just don’t pay attention to all the games they’re playing
You just gotta love yourself, trust it, and keep waiting
You deserve the best, but all that glitters ain’t gold
Look for something deeper than mere infatuation
Like a gentle heart, honesty and patience
‘Cuz that sh*t is rare, it’s something to cherish and hold
You’re not to blame
Girl, you’re not to blame
You are not to blame for everything you’ve been through, you are just perfect and they’re not worth it
Save the tears for another day
