"RED" BY TAYLOR SWIFT

LYRICSLoving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead end street

Faster than the windPassionate as sin, ended so suddenly

Loving him is like trying to change your mindOnce you’re already flying through the free fall

Like the colors in autumnSo bright just before they lose it all

Losing him was blue like I’d never knownMissing him was dark grey all alone

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

But loving him was redLoving him was red

LYRICSTouching him is 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 love could be that strong

Losing him was blue like I’d never knownMissing him was dark grey all alone

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

But loving him was redOh red burning red

Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoesTell myself it’s time now, gotta let goBut moving on from him is impossible

When I still see it all in my head

Burning red!Darling it was red!

Oh, losing him was blue like I’d never knownMissing 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 redWe're burning red

And that's why he's spinning round in my headComes back to me burning red

Yeah yeah
