Dangerous
Faker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I heard your music on the radio,
It's good to see you doing well,
I've got no problems with the words you said,
In fact it's got me feeling now,

I know there's reason in my mind,
But there's a fool that's in there now,
I know I'm honest with myself,
But does my self know when it lies?

Now what do I do? Maybe I'm dangerous,
According to you it could've been love with us,
Was it all a lie? No, I'm keeping it all inside,
I needed time, No, I really need something right, oh

I wasn't old enough to fight the change,
But now my age is no excuse,
I had to learn some things I can't replace
I know this song is overdue

I know there's reason in my mind,
But there's a fool that's in there now,
I know I'm honest with myself,
But does my self know when it lies?

Now what do I do? Maybe I'm dangerous,
According to you it could've been love with us,
Was it all a lie? No, I'm keeping it all inside,
I needed time, No, I really need something right

Now what do I do? Maybe I'm dangerous,
According to you it could've been love with us,




Was it all a lie? No, I'm keeping it all inside,
I needed time, No, I really need something right
