Dangerously
Charlie Puth [FazMusic.Net] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is gonna hurt but I blame myself first
'Cause I ignored the truth
Drunk off that love, my head up
There's no forgetting you

You've awoken me, but you're choking me
I was so obsessed
Gave you all of me, and now honestly, I got nothing left

I loved you dangerously
More than the air that I breathe
Knew we would crash at the speed that we were going
Didn't care if the explosion ruined me
Baby, I loved you dangerously
Mmmm, mmmm
I loved you dangerously

Usually, I hold the power with both my hands
Tied behind my back
Look at how things change, 'cause now you're the train
And I'm tied to the track

You've awoken me, but you're choking me
I was so obsessed
Gave you all of me, and now honestly, I got nothing left

'Cause I loved you dangerously
More than the air that I breathe
Knew we would crash at the speed that we were going
Didn't care if the explosion ruined me
Baby, I loved you dangerously

You took me down, down, down, down
And kissed my lips quick goodbye
I see it now, now, now, now
It was a matter of time
You know I know, there's only one place this could lead
But you are the fire, I'm gasoline

I love you, I love you, I love you
I loved you dangerously
Ooh, more than the air that I breathe
Oh now, knew we would crash at the speed that we were going
Didn't care if the explosion ruined me
Oh, oh baby, I loved you dangerously

Mmmm, mmmm




Ooh, I loved you dangerously
Ooh ooh, I loved you dangerously

Overall Meaning

Charlie Puth's song "Dangerously" is a heart-wrenching ballad about loving someone so deeply that it becomes dangerous. The song paints a picture of a tumultuous relationship where the singer is aware that loving this person could result in heartbreak yet feels powerless to stop it. In the first verse, Puth blames himself for ignoring the red flags in the relationship, and as a result, he's left with nothing. The chorus, where Puth sings, "I loved you dangerously, more than the air that I breathe," underscores the theme of the song, highlighting how all-consuming this love was for him.


The second verse serves as an interesting twist, where Puth realizes that he's no longer the one in control of the relationship. He compares himself to a train tied to the track and his lover being in charge now. The bridge of the song takes a more metaphorical approach, where Puth compares their relationship to that of fire and gasoline. The song ends on an emotional note when Puth pleads to his lover, "I love you, I love you, I love you," making it clear that he's head-over-heels in love with this person, despite the risks that come with it.

Ooh, more than the air that I breathe
My love for you is still as strong and essential to me as breathing air, something I cannot live without.

Ooh, I loved you dangerously
My love for you was intense, reckless, and ultimately caused me more harm than good.

Lyrics
This is gonna hurt but I blame myself first
'Cause I ignored the truth
Drunk off that love, my head up
There’s no forgetting you

You’ve awoken me, but you’re choking me
I was so obsessed
Gave you all of me, and now honestly, I got nothing left

I loved you dangerously
More than the air that I breathe
Knew we would crash at the speed that we were going
Didn’t care if the explosion ruined me
Baby, I loved you dangerously
Mmmm, mmmm
I loved you dangerously

Usually, I hold the power with both my hands
Tied behind my back
Look at how things change, 'cause now you’re the train
And I’m tied to the track

You’ve awoken me, but you’re choking me
I was so obsessed
Gave you all of me, and now honestly, I got nothing left

'Cause I loved you dangerously
More than the air that I breathe
Knew we would crash at the speed that we were going
Didn’t care if the explosion ruined me
Baby, I loved you dangerously

You took me down, down, down, down
And kissed my lips quick goodbye
I see it now, now, now, now
It was a matter of time
You know I know, there’s only one place this could lead
But you are the fire, I’m gasoline

I love you, I love you, I love you
I loved you dangerously
Ooh, more than the air that I breathe
Oh now, knew we would crash at the speed that we were going
Didn’t care if the explosion ruined me
Oh, oh baby, I loved you dangerously

Mmmm, mmmm
Ooh, I loved you dangerously
Ooh ooh, I loved you dangerously
