Losing him was blue like I'd never known
Missing him was dark gray all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met
But loving him was red
She has a hard time forgetting him since she loved him. There are so many nice little metaphors throughout the song that string back to her feelings.
"Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street"
A Maserati is a really nice (and expensive) luxury car, so driving it down a dead-end street sort of defeats the purpose of it- no one will see it.She relates the car to her love because she is very proud and wants to show her love interest off, yet it saddens her as it's not going anywhere. It's a disappointment.
I love the juxtaposition within the lines.
"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"
If there is no "right" answer there isn't much to fight about, which is defeating.
Regretting him also seems backwards, since you typically wouldn't wish that you never found out that love could be that strong. She doesn't regret the relationship but in fact longs and wishes things had been different.
What a perfect song. My favorite lines are:
