I am the song you hear on the radio
That you turn up and sing along with
I am sun that shines down on you
Warming your skin and lighting your day
I am the kind words that touch your soul
That make your day all the more worth it
I am the warmth that fills your heart
Every time your love starts to speak

                 But somewhere deep down I am always red
                 Somewhere deep down I am always wound
                 Somewhere, I burn and I need to release
                 The tension I build but always resist

I am the pain that you feel
When you cut your hand or burn a finger
I am the tears that fall from your eyes
Every time someone makes you sad
I am the hate you carelessly toss
At those who anger you in simple ways
I am the jealousy that torments your mind
And the knowledge you will never have it

                But somewhere deep down I am always red
                Somewhere deep down I am always wound
                Somewhere, I burn and I need to release
                The tension I build but always resist

I can be your pain and I can be your comfort
I can be your love and your hate
I will show you both sides to every story
With every wrong, there is a right

                But deep down I am red
                Deep down I am wound
                Deep down I burn and need to release
                The tension that’s building that I learn to resist
