In this poignant track, Charlie Puth delves into the tumultuous nature of a passionate yet destructive relationship. The lyrics convey a sense of self-awareness and accountability, as the protagonist acknowledges their own role in ignoring red flags ("I blame myself first 'cause I ignored the truth"). The metaphorical language—comparing love to an uncontrollable train and a perilous explosion—illustrates the inevitable downfall due to their intense emotional connection. Despite recognizing the impending disaster, the protagonist is consumed by their infatuation, symbolized by lines like "more than the air that I breathe." Ultimately, the song captures the dichotomy of love's allure and its potential for devastation, emphasizing how overpowering emotions can lead to self-destruction.
Dangerously
Lyrics
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
