Red
Frank Fitts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A lie is on my head
And i see clearly that the sky is red
July is on my head
And i see clearly
You won′t understand

Made me
Believe those lies
Those eyes are clearly
Made me
Someone i can't trust

Is this really worth it?
Is this really worth to try again?
Is this really worth it?
I can′t forget the bloody bloody red
Was it ever worth it?
We tried to quit smoking
But never did
And i just want my old li-i-fe
I touched the sun and burnt my fingertips

A lie is on my head
And i see clearly that
THE SKY IS RED
Your lie is on my head
And i see clearly
You won't understand

Made me
Believe those lies
Those eyes are clearly
Made me
Someone i can't trust

Is this really worth it?
I don′t really want to try again
Is this really worth it?
I can′t forget the bloody bloody red
Is this really worth i-i-it?
Is this really worth to try again?
Is this really worth it?
I can't forget the bloody bloody red
Was it ever worth i-i-it?
We tried to quit smoking
But never did




And i just want my old life
I touched the sun and burnt my fingertips
