Camila Cabello Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Am I wrong
For thinking out the box from where I stay?
Uh, am I wrong
For saying that I choose another way?

Oh, I ain't tryna do what everybody else doin'
Just 'cause everybody doin' what they all do
If one thing I know, I'll fall, but I grow
I'm walking down this road of mine, this road that I call home

So am I wrong?
For thinking that we could be something for real? (Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)
But no, no, no that's wrong
Now am I wrong
For tryna reach the things that I can't see? (Ow)
Oh, that's just how I feel (ooh, ooh, ooh)
That's just how I feel (ooh, ooh, ooh))
That's just how I feel
Tryna reach the things that I can't see (ooh, ooh, ooh)

Am I trippin'?
Am I? For having a vision?
My prediction
I'ma be on the top of the world

Hope you, hope you don't look back
Always do what you decide
Don't let them control your life, that's just how I feel (oh, oh, oh)
Fight for yours and don't let go
Don't let them compare you, no
Don't worry, you're not alone, that's just how I feel (that's just how we feel)
That's just how I feel

If you tell me I'm wrong, wrong
I don't wanna be right, right
If you tell me I'm wrong, wrong
I don't wanna be right (i don't wanna be right)
I don't wanna be right
(Oh, if you tell me I'm wrong, wrong
(If you tell me I'm wrong, wrong) if you tell me I'm wrong
I don't wanna be right, right (i don't wanna be, wanna be right)
If you tell me I'm wrong, wrong (don't tell me I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I'm wrong)
I don't wanna be right

Am I wrong? (Am I wrong?)
For thinking that we could be something for real? (Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)
For real, for real
Now am I wrong? (Am I wrong? Am I wrong?)
For tryna reach the things that I can't see? (Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)
That's just how I feel (how I feel, how I feel)
Yeah, that's just how I feel (how I feel, how I feel)
That's just how I feel
Tryna reach the things that I can't see (ooh, ooh, ooh)

Am I wrong?
For thinking that we could be something for real? Oh




Now am I wrong?
For tryna reach the things that I can't see?

Overall Meaning

"1+1" by Camila Cabello is a song about a relationship that's falling apart due to the weight of unspoken secrets. The song begins with the lines "He knows/ Dirty secrets that I keep/ Does he know it's killing me?" suggesting that the singer is struggling to maintain her relationship while also hiding something from her partner. The chorus "I know what you did last summer/ Tell me where you've been" implies that there's been some kind of betrayal or infidelity, and the singer is desperately trying to get her partner to admit to it.


The second verse includes the line "When she looks me in the eyes/ They don't seem as bright/ No more, no more," which suggests that the singer is losing trust in her partner as their relationship breaks down. The repetition of "I know" throughout the song emphasizes the weight of this knowledge and the power that it holds over both the singer and her partner. Ultimately, the song ends on a bittersweet note with the repeated lines "I know you didn't mean it though/ I can't seem to let you go, can't seem to hold you close," suggesting that despite everything, the singer still loves her partner and is struggling to let them go.


Overall, "1+1" is a deeply emotional song about the pain of secrets and the struggle to maintain a relationship in the face of betrayal. Its catchy melody and powerful lyrics make it a memorable addition to Camila Cabello's discography.

Here I go again
I'm imagining a world outside unlike the one I'm in
Daydreamin' again of when I'll get a chance
There's a world that understands
Where you don't hear the whispers in the room you're walkin' in
Daydreamin' again, all I need is a chance

[Pre-Chorus]
When I feel my fears staring at me
I tell it just wait and see
I know who I'm gonna be
I know who I'm gonna be
The worlds half asleep
It's gonna wake up and see

[Chorus]
If it's a million to one
I'm gonna be that one and
If it's a shot in the dark
I'm gonna be the sun
And I just can't afford to be wrong
Even when I'm afraid
You're gonna know my name
You're gonna know my namе
[Verse 2]
I can barely sleep
'Cause my heart is always racing, chasing, pacing 'round thе room
Livin' carefully is something I don't wanna do, huh

[Pre-Chorus]
When I feel my fears staring at me
I tell it just wait and see
I know who I'm gonna be
I know who I'm gonna be
The worlds half asleep
It's gonna wake up and see

[Chorus]
If it's a million to one
I'm gonna be that one and
If it's a shot in the dark
I'm gonna be the sun
And I just can't afford to be wrong
Even when I'm afraid
You're gonna know my name
You're gonna know my name

[Bridge]
I can see her now and then
Wanna know what I could be, yeah
I see her laughin', 'cause she knew all along in her head
So when the light is hard to see
She's telling me
[Chorus]
If it's a million to one
I'm gonna be that one and
If it's a shot in the dark
I'm gonna be the sun
And I, I just can't afford to be wrong
Even when I'm afraid
You're gonna know my name
You're gonna know my name

[Outro]
You're gonna know my name
You're gonna know my name, yeah
You're gonna know my name
You're gonna know my name

You know what’s really beautiful about this is the idea of a positive dream acting like a self-fulfilling prophecy. It just creates inspiration from what seems like nothing, but it’s coming from a person who has that dream. Says a lot about who you are, what you use to trudge on through life.

Sarah Fischer

Does anyone else just listen to this song and plan out there entire life especially if what u want to do isn’t typically “normal”? I’m a 16 year old girl and since I can remember I’ve always wanted to be a robotic engineer but that has always been frowned on by a lot of ppl since I’m a girl but after listening to this song and watching the movie it rly makes me feel like I can pursue my dreams no matter what others think 🥰🥰🥰

Zeynep Berberoğlu
