As my world burns,
          I realise I have about two choices
          I could leave you behind
          Or I could go against my instincts
          
          I could turn around and find you
          Wherever you may be
          I could put myself through chaos
          I could find you through the hellfire
          
          I’d wrap my arms around you
          They fit so perfectly
          I’d protect you from the world
          That crumbled at our feet
          
          I’d smell your hair one last time,
          Before I hold my breath
          And count the sheep above my head
          My sight would leave me, I’d be dying
          
          You’d tell me to stay strong
          You’d tell me to keep going
          Your motives are as clear as day
          You only care about your own well-being
          
          As our world burns around us
          I could only focus my attention on you
          The fire would engulf me
          I’d turn to ash
          
          You’d be untouched
          Yet, you’d cry out
          You’d look at me and see
          I have nothing left to give

Red is the lipstick you paint onto your lips 
          It keeps you confident
          It makes the men want to know where you learned to be so bold
          Red is the strawberry you picked from the garden
          Sweet, but tart
          The flavours hit your tongue all at once
          All you can do is indulge
          Red is indulgence 
          Red is holding you in my arms
          Tight, but not too tight
          I’d hate to squeeze so tight you slip through my fingers
          Red is the love we share
          The passion that fills the air
          Red is the lipstick you paint onto your lips
          Right before you take me out
          I kiss you again and again
          Red is passion, it is love
          You share your red with me
