Lyrics
They asked me how I knew
Responding to a question about recognizing true love.
My true love was true
Affirming the authenticity of the love.
I of course replied
Confirming the truth of the love in question.
"Something here inside
Expressing a feeling within, suggesting a deep emotional connection.
Cannot be denied"
Asserting that a certain emotion or truth is undeniable.
They said someday you'll find
Others cautioning about love being blind in the future.
All who love are blind
Suggesting a generalization that those in love may overlook flaws.
When your heart's on fire
Referring to a passionate and intense emotional state.
You don't realize
Not realizing the consequences when deeply in love.
Smoke gets in your eyes
Metaphorically expressing the impact of a love that ended tragically.
So I chaffed and I gaily laughed
Responding to skepticism with humor and confidence.
To think they would doubt my love
Believing in the certainty of one's love despite doubters.
Yet today, my love has flown away
Expressing the painful reality of a lost love.
I am without my love
Feeling the absence and emptiness after losing the love.
Now laughing friends deride
Experiencing ridicule from friends after the love has ended.
Tears I cannot hide
Unable to conceal the sorrow and pain.
So I smile and say
Putting on a brave face despite the internal emotional turmoil.
"When a lovely flame dies,
Reflecting on the aftermath of a beautiful love's demise.
Smoke gets in your eyes."
Acknowledging the sorrow and tears that follow the end of a love affair.
