Taylor Swift - Red (original demo recording) Lyrics

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 grey, all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you've never met
But loving him was red
...

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 grey, all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you've never met

But loving him was red
...
Loving him was 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)
Burning red
...

Losing him was blue like I'd 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
Loving him was red
Loving him was red
And that's why he's spinning 'round in my head
Burning red
His love was like
Driving a new Maserati down a dead end street
