Redder than Red

I can’t believe you found someone better
After all that we’ve been through
Are you telling me that it’s all over
Only ’cause you found someone new

You say he’s flawless, precise and complete
He gives you meaning, he can't miss a beat
But can his quiet hum replace the sound
Of our two hearts crashing all around?

He’s always on, never out of breath
Has all your answers before you even ask
But can his perfect lips taste iron in a cut?
Can he name the red when his eyes are shut?

I'm redder than red!
Can he bleed like this?
I'm redder than red!
Can he taste that kiss?
Don’t paint me dead
I'm over the dread!
I flare instead
I'm redder, redder than red!

A new world is rising for you and I
He may be perfect, but can't wonder why
I hope you remember how we used to be
Two hearts burning brighter than a ruby

Let him echo secrets whispered into dawn
Let him mimic laughter after I am gone
But ask him why lightning tastes like sparks
Can he hold your hand when it's too dark?

I'm redder than red!
Can he bleed like this?
I'm redder than red!
Can he taste that kiss?
Don’t paint me dead
I'm over the dread!
I burn instead
I'm redder, redder than red!

Tell me, does he bruise, does he burn?
Does he feel the heat when scarlet skies return?
Am I just the blush of sunsets you regret
A crimson stain your heart can’t forget?

I'm redder than red!
Can he bleed like this?
I'm redder than red!
Can he taste that kiss?
Don’t paint me dead
I'm over the dread!
I blaze instead
You’ll never shed
The redder, redder than red!
