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've 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

Touching him was like realizing all you ever wanted was right there in ront 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'd never found out that love could be that strong

Losing him was blue, like I've 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

Oh, red

Burning red

Remembering him comes in flashbacks, in 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

Burning red

Loving him was red

Oh, losing him was blue, like I've 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

Burning red

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

Comes back to me, burning red

Yeah, yeah

His love was like driving a new Maserati down a dead end street

(Terjemahan)

Mencintainya seperti kendarai Maserati baru susuri jalan buntu

Lebih cepat daripada angin

Bergairah seperti dosa, berakhir teramat cepat

Mencintainya seperti mencoba mengubah pikiranmu

Begitu kau tlah jatuhkan diri dalam terjun payung

Seperti warna-warni pada musim gugur

Begitu terang sebelum semuanya hilang

Kehilangan dia terasa biru yang tak pernah kutahu

Merindukannya terasa gelap kelabu

Melupakannya bak mencoba mengingat seseorang yang tak pernah kau jumpai

Tapi mencintainya terasa merah

Mencintainya terasa merah

Menyentuhnya seperti menyadari bahwa yang kau inginkan ada di depanmu

Menghafalnya terasa semudah mengetahui semua kata di lagu kesukaanmu

Bertengkar dengannya seperti mencoba pecahkan teka-teki dan sadar tak ada jawabannya

Menyesali dirinya seperti berharap kau tak pernah tahu bahwa cinta bisa sekuat itu

Kehilangan dirinya terasa biru yang tak pernah kutahu

Merindukannya terasa gelap kelabu

Melupakannya seperti mencoba mengenal seseorang yang kau tak pernah berjumpa

Tapi mencintainya terasa merah

Oh merah, merah membara

Mengingatnya terjadi dalam kilas balik dan gema

Kubilang pada diriku, sudah saat, harus merelakannya

Tapi tinggalkannya adalah hal yang mustahil

Saat masih kulihat semuanya di kepalaku

Merah membara!

Kasih, memang merah!

Oh, kehilangan dirinya terasa biru yang tak pernah kutahu

Merindukannya adalah gelap kelabu

Melupakannya seperti mencoba mengingat seseorang yang kau tak pernah berjumpa

Karena mencintainya terasa merah

Kita merah membara

Dan karena itulah dia berputar-putar di kepalaku

Kembali padaku, merah membara

Yeah yeah

Karena cinta seperti kendarai Maserati baru susuri jalan buntu
