[Verse 1]
Lovin' him is like, drivin' a new Maserati
Down a dead end street
Faster than the wind, passionate as sin
Ended so suddenly
Loving him is like, tryin' to change your mind
Once you're already flying through the free fall
Like the colors in autumn so bright
N.C.
Just before they lose it all
[Chorus]
Losing him was blue, like I'd never known
Missing him was dark grey, all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody
You never met
But loving him was red
Re ee ed, re ee ed, re ee ed
Lovin' him was red
Re ee ed, re ee ed, re ee ed
[Verse 2]
Touching him was like, realizing all you ever wanted
Was right there in front of you
Memorizing him was as, easy as knowin' all the words
To your old favorite song
Fighting with him was like tryin' to solve a
Crossword and realizing there's no right answer
Regretting him was like wishing you never found out
That love could be that strong
[Chorus]
Losing him was blue, like I'd never known
Missing him was dark grey, all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody
You never met
But loving him was red
Re ee ed, re ee ed, oh red, re ee ed
Burnin' red, re ee ed, re ee ed
Re ee ed,
[Bridge]
Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echos
Tellin' myself it's time now gotta let go
But moving on from him is impossible
When I still see it all in my, head
And burning red
Burning, it was reeeeed
[Chorus]
Oh losing him was blue, like I'd never known
Missing him was dark grey, all alone
Forgetting him was like tryin' to know somebody
You never met
Cause loving him was red
Yeah, yeah, red
Oh Burning reeeeeeeed
[Outro]
And that's Why he's spinnin' 'round in my head
Comes back to me, burnin' red
Yeah, yeah
His love was like, drivin' a new Maserati
Down a dead end street
