Loving him is like driving a new maserati down a dead end street

Faster than the wind, passionate as sin, ending so suddenly

Loving him is like trying to change your mind once you're already flying through the free fall

Like the colors in autumn so bright just before they lose it all



Losing him was blue, like I'd never known

Missing him was dark gray, all alone

Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you've never met

But loving him was red

Loving him was red



Touching him was like realizing all you ever wanted was right there in front of you

Memorizing him was as easy as knowing all the words to your old favorite song

Fighting with him was like trying 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



Losing him was blue, like I'd never known

Missing him was dark gray, all alone

Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met

But loving him was red, oh red, burning red



Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes

Tell myself it's time now gotta let go

But moving on from him is impossible when I still see it all in my head…In burning red

Burning, it was red



Losing him was blue, like I'd never known

Missing him was dark gray, all alone

Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you've never met

Cause loving him was red, yeah yeah red, burning red



And that’s why he’s spinning around in my head

Comes back to me in burning red

Loving him is like driving a new maserati down a dead end street
