* LoveMakesYouCrazy/[[LoveMakesYouDumb Dumb]]: Several of his songs seem like they were written by a teenager that was put in a psychiatric ward for being so [[TastesLikeDiabetes unhealthily lovestruck]]. Consider:
** Sure, "Grenade" may sound upbeat. But [[LyricalDissonance when you listen to the lyrics]], it's kinda disturbing. [[StupidSacrifice Voluntarily giving your life for a woman who no longer loves you?]] That's not sweet. That's sick. And most definitely [[CaptainObvious crazy.]]
*** The music video depicts Bruno drags a piano around with him to a girl's house. While it seems strange at first, observe how the piano could stand for the suffering for not being loved by her anymore. He reaches her house and sees her kissing another man. Depressed, he leaves, standing in front of a railroad crossing, playing the piano. Then, a train hits him, and he dies.
** A more literal example of this trope, the song "Talkin' to the Moon" takes a similar approach to "Grenade", but instead, it depicts a man who has been driven stark raving mad instead of being driven to suicide over a relationship. Here, the person is revealed to be talking to the moon...pretending the moon is his once significant other.
*** While the tone of this song is Lighter and Softer when compared to "Grenade" (though the music sounds sadder), imagine if you broke up with your significant other. You no longer have any interest in him/her. You've completely moved on and wish to find someone else. Meanwhile, that person you dumped is left emotionally compromised by your relationship with him/her, that he/she is driven mentally insane...to the point where he/she ends up talking to a figment of his/her imagination: You. The person slowly deteriorates under his/her own delusions of being in love with you...while you don't even know about it.
** "Marry You" seems to depict a young man enticing his significant other to get drunk and marry him...[[WideEyedIdealist while also fantasizing about the event in the most over the top way possible.]]
** The song "Voices in My Head" follows this trope to a T. Being sad that your significant other left you and wishing she'd come back is one thing. Obsessing over the event [[UpToEleven to the extreme]] while simultaneously fantasizing about it to the point where you start creating your own dialogue in your head? Uh...

!Tropes related to Bruno Mars:
* LoveMakesYouCrazy: He has several songs that depict this.
**The song Grenade may sound upbeat. But when you listen to the lyrics, it's kinda disturbing. Voluntarily giving your life for someone that no longer loves you? That's not sweet. That's sick.
***In the music video, he drags a piano around with him to her house. While it seems strange at first, observe how the piano could stand for the suffering for not being loved by her anymore. He reaches her house, to see her kissing another man. Depressed, he leaves, standing in front of a railroad crossing, playing the piano. Then, a train
hits include him, and he dies.
**A more literal example of this trope, the song ''Talkin' To the Moon'' takes a similar approach to Grenade, but instead, it depicts a man who has been driven stark raving mad instead of being driven to suicide over a relationship. Here, the person is revealed to be talking to the moon...pretending the moon is his once significant other.
***While the tone of this song is Lighter and Softer when compared to Grenade (though the music sounds sadder), imagine if you broke up with your significant other. You no longer have any interest in him/her. You've completely moved on and wish to find someone else. Meanwhile, that person you dumped is left emotionally compromised by your relationship with him/her, that he/she is driven mentally insane...to the point where he/she ends up talking to a figment of his/her imagination: You. He slowly deteriorates under his own delusions of being in love with you while you don't even know about it.
*SenselessSacrifice: In "Grenade," the narrator would die for someone who doesn't love him back. Doubles as a StupidSacrifice.
*WhenSheSmiles: In
"Just the The Way You Are", "Grenade", Are"
---> "And when you smile, the whole world stops
and "The Lazy Song".stares for a while."
