(Verse 1)

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'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 

Loving him was red 


(Verse 2)

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 


(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 

Oh, redBurning red 


(Bridge)

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 

Loving him was red


(Chorus)

Oh, 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 

'Cause loving him was red 

Yeah, yeah, red 

We're burning red 


(Breakdown)

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

Comes back to me, burning red 

Yeah, yeah


(Outro)

His love was like driving a new Maserati 

Down a dead-end street
