[English]

Ooh- uh no

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've 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

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

Oh, more than the air that I breathe

Speed that we were going

Didn't care if the explosion ruined me

Baby, I loved you dangerously

Mm, mm

I loved you dangerously

Ooh- ooh, I loved you dangerously

[Korean]

Ooh- uh no

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've 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

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

Oh, more than the air that I breathe

Speed that we were going

Didn't care if the explosion ruined me

Baby, I loved you dangerously

Mm, mm

I loved you dangerously

Ooh- ooh, I loved you dangerously
