Dangerously
Charlie Puth Lyrics

This is gonna hurt but I blame myself first
The upcoming discussion will be difficult, however, I accept responsibility for any fault in the matter.

'Cause I ignored the truth
I knew deep down that there was an issue, but I refused to acknowledge it.

Drunk off that love, my head up
I was blinded by the love I had for you.

There's no forgetting you
I can't seem to let go of the memories and feelings I have for you.

You've awoken me, but you're choking me
I've been reinvigorated by your presence in my life, yet overwhelmed and struggling to breathe simultaneously.

I was so obsessed
I became consumed with thoughts of you, and it started to impact my life.

Gave you all of me, and now honestly, I got nothing left
I poured all of myself into loving and caring for you, and now I feel depleted and empty.

I loved you dangerously
My love for you was intense, potent, and likely to cause harm.

More than the air that I breathe
You were essential to my existence, much like the air I depend on to survive.

Knew we would crash at the speed that we were going
I was aware that our relationship was moving too fast and likely to come to a disastrous end.

Didn't care if the explosion ruined me
I didn't consider the consequences of the relationship's eventual end, as long as I had you in my life.

Usually, I hold the power with both my hands
I'm typically in control of situations and have the ability to make decisions.

Tied behind my back
Now, I feel like I've been restricted and deprived of my typical authority.

Look at how things change, 'cause now you're the train
The power dynamic shifted, and you're now the influential party in this relationship.

And I'm tied to the track
I'm left vulnerable and unable to escape the direction that this relationship takes.

You took me down, down, down, down
You led me into a downward spiral and caused me to lose everything.

And kissed my lips quick goodbye
You left me abruptly, saying goodbye with a simple kiss.

I see it now, now, now, now
I see the truth in the situation, with clarity and transparency.

It was a matter of time
Our relationship was bound to end or fail eventually.

You know I know, there's only one place this could lead
We both know that this relationship is heading towards its eventual and inevitable end.

But you are the fire, I'm gasoline
Our relationship is volatile and combustible, with you as the driving force and I provide the intensity.

I love you, I love you, I love you
Irrespective of our situation and how it eventually ends, I will always love you.

Ooh, more than the air that I breathe
My love for you is essential to my survival, much like the air I breathe.

Oh now, knew we would crash at the speed that we were going
I was aware that our relationship was moving too fast and likely to come to a disastrous end.

Didn't care if the explosion ruined me
I didn't consider the consequences of the relationship's eventual end, as long as I had you in my life.

Oh, oh baby, I loved you dangerously
Even though our relationship was bound to cause harm, I loved you unconditionally and without regret.

Mm, mm
An interjection of hesitation or reflection, without further context.

Ooh, I loved you dangerously
I loved you passionately and boldly, even though I knew it would eventually lead to trouble.
