Red is the color of your lips
That left marks under my skin
Wouldn't let anyone else in
Before you, I was black and I was blue
Then your soul slowly seeped through
Reminding me who I belong to
I was harsh, but now I'm gentle
And keeping you 'round would be good for my mental
I was dark and I was twisted
And you were the color that I was missing, yeah
Red is my heart in which you drown
And your nails that scratch me down
Turning heads everywhere we go now
Oh red was the blur in my headaches
And the sound that your smile makes
When you can see love on my face
I was harsh, but now I'm gentle
And keeping you 'round would be good for my mental
I was dark and I was twisted
And you were the color that I was missing
Now I forgot that I was ever blue
Splashed me with red, now you're my muse
Now colors won't make sense without you
