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
