[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 mhm I loved you dangerously

Ooh- ooh I loved you dangerously
