Consequences
Camila Cabello [FazMusic.Net] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Glasses on the sink, they didn't fix you
Lonely pillows in a strangers bed
Little voices in my head
Secret keeping, stop the bleeding
Lost a little weight because I wasn't eating
All the souls that I can't listen to, to tell the truth
Loving you was cool, and hot, and sweet
Loving you was sunshine, safe and sound
A steady place to let down my defenses
But loving you had consequences
Hesitation, awkward conversation
Running on low expectation
Every siren that I was ignoring
I'm payin' for it
Loving you was young, and wild, and free
Loving you was cool, and hot, and sweet
Loving you was sunshine, safe and sound
A steady place to let down my defenses
But loving you had consequences
Loving you was dumb, dark and cheap
Loving you still takes shots at me
Found loving you was sunshine, but then it poured
And I lost so much more than my senses
'Cause loving you had consequences
Loving you
was an experience that was young, wild, and free. The feelings were cool, hot, and sweet. The relationship was filled with sunshine and safety which allowed for a safe space to let down one's defenses. Despite these positive aspects, there were still consequences to loving the other person. The lyrics indicate that there were several difficulties and issues that arose from loving this person. These issues were reflected through the use of imagery in the song lyrics. For example, the line "dirty tissues, trust issues" shows that there were problems with trust that had not been addressed. The line "lost a little weight because I wasn't eating" indicates that this relationship may have caused anxiety and stress that led to a loss of appetite. Finally, the line "loving you was dumb, dark, and cheap" shows that the relationship had a negative impact on the writer.
Overall, the song explores the complexities of love and how it can have both positive and negative consequences. It acknowledges that even though loving someone can bring happiness and joy, it also has the potential to cause pain, hurt, and heartbreak.

Said, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Hey, no ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Loving you was dumb, dark and cheap

She sings it with great emotion and I love it but this was not her experience and she had nothing to do with writing it.
Ed Sheeran is one of the world's biggest singers and songwriters, but he's also good at pitching songs to his artist friends, namely Camila Cabello.
Camila crossed paths with Ed several times when working on her debut album Camila, even recording a song that he wrote for her, before then deciding not to include it on the final tracklist. One song that did make the cut was Consequences; while not written by Ed, he was the one who introduced Camila to it.
Amy Wadge, the country music songwriter who co-wrote the song, has explained to Music Week how the song ended up on Camila's lap. It was down to one middle man, Mr Sheeran. When asked whether the song was written for Camila in mind, Amy confirmed that it wasn't:
"No. I wrote it with Nicolle Galyon and Emily Weisband, then played it to Ed and he said, ‘You know who you need to send this to?’ So he sent it to her [Camila], she worked her magic, wrote a bit as well and that’s how it came to life. He’s always got my back, he’s a very generous soul and he always listens to everything I do. He’s incredibly generous like that."

I hate how most of her songs are underrated. They're literally the best! This deserves a havana-like recognition
@nehaisszerintemnem3048
She have beautiful voice but have to live more, to put her real feelings in her songs.
Then her greatness will take shape. Like this song.🙏
