Dangerously
PUTH Charlie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh, ooh

This is gonna hurt, but I blame myself first
'Cause I ignored the truth
Drunk off of that love, it 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 (me, me)
Baby, I loved you dangerously
Mm, mm
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 (me, me)
Baby, I loved you dangerously

You took me down, down, down, down
And kissed my lips with 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 (me, me)
Oh, oh, baby, I loved you dangerously

Mm, mm




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

Overall Meaning

In Charlie Puth's song "Dangerously," he reflects on a past relationship that was both intense and destructive. He starts the song by admitting that he blames himself for not recognizing the truth about his partner. He was so deeply in love and infatuated with them that he chose to ignore all of the warning signs. He describes his obsession with them as being drunk off love with his head up, indicating that he was not thinking clearly. He knew that the relationship was unstable and would eventually crash, yet he didn't care because loving them dangerously was worth it to him.


Later in the song, Puth reflects on how the power dynamics in the relationship have shifted. He had been the one in control, holding the power, but now he is powerless, tied to the tracks while their partner is the speeding train. The partner has awoken Puth to the reality of the situation, but at the same time, is choking him emotionally. Puth acknowledges the explosive end that he knew was inevitable but was willing to risk it all. In the end, the relationship was a destructive force, one that Puth knew would lead to his ruin, but he loved the person so much that it didn't matter.

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
