Backstory:
She was so young when it all began, she didn't take time to know herself. She thought he was the perfect man, so she put herself on the shelf. He came home with the smell of sweet perfume on his lips, even though he swore he'd never cheat. This Round The Globe song was co-written by Patricia Braud Bishop (USA) & Clare Seffen (Lyrics). Music & Production by Raul Barba (Argentina), and Vocals by Clare Steffen (USA).
Lyrics:
V1
You were so young when it all began
You didn't take time to know yourself
You thought he was the perfect man
So you put yourself on the shelf
V2
When the babies came along
Sooner than you expected
You didn't do anything wrong
He just started to feel neglected
Chorus
Don't blame yourself
'Cause his love changed
It’s not your fault
Life's upside down, and rearranged
The boy you loved
Never grew up
His selfish acts were second class
Don’t beat yourself up
For the love, he lacked
V3
Nights when he came home
With smudges on his lips
The scent of sweet perfume
Mixed in with his kiss
V4
You dared to question him
He swore he’d never cheat
Until you found her lipstick
In his car, on the back seat
Chorus
Don't blame yourself
'Cause his love changed
It’s not your fault
Life's upside down, and rearranged
The boy you loved
Never grew up
His selfish acts were second class
Don’t beat yourself up
For the love, he lacked
Outro
You’ve done all that you can
To keep your family together
But all of his promises
Changed like the weather
It's not your fault
Don't blame yourself
It's not your fault
