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

[Chorus]
Losing him was blue like I've never known,
Missing him was dark grey, 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'd never found out that love could be that strong

[Chorus]
Losing him was blue like I've never known,
Missing him was dark grey, all alone,
Forgetting him was like
trying to know somebody you've never met
But loving him was red
Oh red
Burning red

Remembering him comes
in flashbacks, in 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
Burning red
Loving him was red

Oh, losing him was blue like I've never known,
Missing him was dark grey, 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 round in my head,
Comes back to me, burning red
Yeah, yeah
His love was like driving a new Maserati down a dead end street
