Loving her 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 her was blue like I'd never known

Missing her was dark gray, all alone

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

But loving her was red

Loving her was red

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

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

Fighting with her was like trying to solve a crossword and realizing there's no right answer

Regretting her was like wishing you never found out that love could be that strong

Losing her was blue like I'd never known

Missing her was dark gray, all alone

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

But loving her was red

Oh, red

Burning red

Remembering her comes in flashbacks and echoes

Tell myself it's time now, gotta let go

But moving on from her is impossible

When I still see it all in my head

In burning red

Oh, losing her was blue like I'd never known

Missing her was dark gray, all alone

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

'Cause loving her was red

Yeah, yeah, red

Burning red

And that's why she's spinning 'round in my head

Comes back to me burning red

Red, red
