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

Losing him was blue, like I'd never known

Missing him was dark gray, all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know
Somebody you 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 never found out
That love could be that strong

Losing him was blue, like I'd never known

Missing him was dark gray, all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know
Somebody you never met
But loving him was red
Oh, red
Burning red

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
Burning, it was red

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

Missing him was dark gray, all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know
Somebody you 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

ed is the color at the long wavelength end of the visible spectrum of light, next to orange and
opposite violet. It has a dominant wavelength of approximately 625–740 nanometres.[1] It is a primary
color in the RGB color model and a secondary color (made from magenta and yellow) in the CMYK
color model, and is the complementary color of cyan. Reds range from the brilliant yellow-
tinged scarlet and vermillion to bluish-red crimson, and vary in shade from the pale red pink to the
dark red burgundy.[2]
Red pigment made from ochre was one of the first colors used in prehistoric art. The Ancient
Egyptians and Mayans colored their faces red in ceremonies; Roman generals had their bodies
colored red to celebrate victories. It was also an important color in China, where it was used to color
early pottery and later the gates and walls of palaces. [3]: 60–61  In the Renaissance, the brilliant red
costumes for the nobility and wealthy were dyed with kermes and cochineal. The 19th century
brought the introduction of the first synthetic red dyes, which replaced the traditional dyes. Red
became a symbolic color of communism and socialism; Soviet Russia adopted a red flag following
the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, until the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991. Communist China
adopted the red flag following the Chinese Revolution of 1949. It was adopted by North Vietnam in
1954, and by all of Vietnam in 1975.
Since red is the color of blood, it has historically been associated with sacrifice, danger, and
courage. Modern surveys in Europe and the United States show red is also the color most
commonly associated with heat, activity, passion, sexuality, anger, love, and joy. In China, India, and
many other Asian countries it is the color symbolizing happiness and good fortune. [4]: 39–63
