A Fire I Can't Put Out
Eternal Flames: Unquenchable Love in George Strait's Melody
Lyrics
I'm finding out how hot an old flame can burn
Finding the intense heat of a rekindled past love.
You're a feeling I haven't forgot, the love I can't unlearn
The enduring emotions and lessons from a past love that linger.
You've become a memory I can't live without
A love that has become an essential and irreplaceable part of the person's memories.
You'll always be a fire I can't put out
Describing the persistent and unquenchable nature of the remembered love.
I don't know how to handle the dream you left behind
Struggling to cope with the lingering thoughts and emotions of the past relationship.
It's like a lighted candle burning up my mind
Comparing the lasting impact of the past love to a continuously burning candle in the mind.
At least I'm happy knowing what love is all about
Despite the pain, finding solace in the understanding gained from the experience of love.
You'll always be a fire I can't put out
Reiterating the enduring and unextinguishable nature of the remembered love.
Embers to ashes, that's how it should be
Expressing that the relationship should have naturally faded away, like embers turning into ashes.
You'd think by now my heart would know and it could set you free
Reflecting on the surprise that the heart still clings to the past despite expectations of moving on.
The things I've tried, the tears I've cried, I guess there's no doubt
Highlighting the futile attempts and emotional struggles to move past the lingering love.
You'll always be a fire I can't put out
Reaffirming the persistent and unrelenting nature of the remembered love.
I don't know how to handle the dream you left behind
Revisiting the challenge of dealing with the memories and emotions left by the past relationship.
It's like a lighted candle burning up my mind
Using the metaphor of a lighted candle to depict the ongoing mental impact of the past love.
At least I'm happy knowing what love is all about
Finding contentment in the knowledge and understanding gained from experiencing love.
You'll always be a fire I can't put out
Emphasizing the lasting and enduring nature of the love that cannot be extinguished.
You'll always be a fire I can't put out
Concluding with the reiterated sentiment that the past love will forever endure and be unputoutable.
