Said I Loved You...But I Lied
Michael Bolton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A fire that burns through wind and rain
Shine your light on this heart of mine
Till the end of time
You came to me like the dawn through the night
Just shinin' like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one
Said I loved you but I lied
'Cause this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you but I was wrong
'Cause love could never ever feel so strong
Said I loved you but I lied
With all my soul I've tried in vain
How can mere words my heart explain
This taste of heaven so deep so true
I've found in you, oh yeah
So many reasons in so many ways
My life has just begun
Need you forever, I need you to stay
You are the one, you are the one
Said I loved you but I lied
'Cause this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you but I was wrong
'Cause love could never ever feel so strong
Said I loved you but I lied, oh
You came to me like the dawn through the night
Just shinin', shinin' like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one
Said I loved you but I lied (said I loved you but I lied)
'Cause this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you but I was wrong (said I loved you but I'm wrong)
'Cause love could never ever feel so strong
Said I loved you (said I loved you)
But this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you, but I lied
The lyrics to Michael Bolton's "Said I Loved You...But I Lied" describe a love that transcends mere words. The singer describes his beloved as a candle and love's flame, a force that can burn through any obstacle. He declares that he needs his lover forever, and that his life has just begun since they met. However, despite all his declarations of love, the singer ultimately confesses that he lied when he said he loved them in the past. He acknowledges that the feeling he has is stronger than mere love and that it is difficult to explain in words.
The song employs metaphor and vivid imagery throughout to communicate the intensity of the singer's feelings. The candle and flame image is particularly striking, as it suggests a love that is powerful and all-consuming, yet also fragile and vulnerable to external forces. The description of his lover coming to him like the dawn through the night conveys a sense of hope and renewal that emerges from a place of darkness.
Overall, the lyrics to "Said I Loved You...But I Lied" speak to the complicated and often contradictory nature of human emotions. Love is a force that can defy description and lead us to say things we don't entirely mean or understand. However, honesty and self-awareness can help us come to a deeper understanding of our feelings and ultimately lead to more genuine connections.
