Ever wonder about what he's doing? How it all turned to lies?
Sometimes I think that it's better to never ask why.

MY interpretation: Whether he's there physically or not, there's not much communication or involvement between the two of you. It feels like everything you thought was said and done in love turned out to be a betrayal. Guarding your heart by hiding the truth is saying it will hurt if I ask why, and do I really want to know why? Do I want to know the truth, or do I just live in my own world? Fear, confusion, hurt...the two are seperating - unable to communicate, maybe hurt and fighting, or a betrayal. In your own mind, you can justify what you want to believe about the situation. Sometimes you fear that it's harder to confront it head on.

Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame. Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned. But just because it burns - Doesn't mean you're gonna die. You gotta get up and try, and try, and try. You gotta get up and try, and try, and try.
You gotta get up and try, and try, and try.

MY interpretation: I actually see this as a double meaning. The first being, that if you got desire for the person of the two, then there's always a flame. That flame doesn't have to be big, and it can be super small but it'll always be there. And when you got that flame, someone's going to get hurt at one point or another. People don't like to hurt, and sometimes the hurt burns cause the betrayal is so harsh. You aren't gonna die from being hurt (even though the fear is the feeling that you feel like you're going to die or even if you feel that way) You remind yourself to find your strength, and then you get up and you keep trying and keep trying ... she doesn't say try, try, try...she said "and" try. Meaning it may seem like you're trying over and over, but you keep doing that for love. Also, it's a warning about letting something unhealthy and wrong into the relationship between two people. If you feel that desire...that flame is already turned on. Turn off the flame so you or the person you say you love or the "desire" does not get hurt, because it ultimately will. No one will die from it, although someone will feel like they are for a season, but you try for the love that matters and is real without stopping. Working on things is not without effort and you can't fix it overnight...so you keep trying, and trying, and trying for as long as it takes - work is required in a relationship. You're strong enough to try without stopping (that is love.)

Funny how the heart can be deceiving More than just a couple times Why do we fall in love so easy? Even when it's not right.

MY interpretation: I could easily go to the act of straying from your love to someone else. To let the heart deceive you into telling you that you're in love with someone else. You know it's not right, but you keep falling into that deception. BUT since this is MY interpretation - When you love someone and you're out of the in love honeymoon phase and things start to require work or things are starting to get rough. It's easy to be deceived that it's not love, or that wasn't meant to be, or it was wrong. You can be deceived that you are falling in love with something or someone or deceived it's not love at all ... it all leads you away from the person you love. You know it's not right, but you give in to all the overwhelming feelings (the sense of falling in love all over again...you know how some people talk about moving on to different things because they can't get past the initial stage of falling in love and how strong and good it feels..I can't say I fully understand it, but there are some that claim to have this.) It doesn't have to be a person when you're in a relationship. It felt like a dream, and now you want to rewind it and experience it again but you don't wanna work on doing it with the person you love...you feel you gotta get it through something else other than that person. That or you're just easily tempted to go the easy route to find that passion. Example: You're fighting all the time, and you don't seem to be making progress getting to where you want to be with your love. Ever said, "this should be easier?" It's easy to be deceived by negative thoughts and the grass is greener idea, which can lead you to believe you are not in love and cause you to keep repeating these actions and deeds.

Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame. Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned. But just because it burns - Doesn't mean you're gonna die. You gotta get up and try, and try, and try. You gotta get up and try, and try, and try.
You gotta get up and try, and try, and try.

MY interpretation: Reminder of the theme of what is real and what you should do. You love them, and you're strong enough to hang in there and try to fix things and make it right. In a marriage, you have vowed to not give up on it and to sacrifice and hang in even when it looks impossible. If you've truly fallen in love with someone once...you without a doubt can do it again despite almost anything. You keep trying (should there an end to that?) Even in a necessary seperation, you still have the right to fight and try and fix and mend and change.

Ever worry that it might be ruined? And does it make you wanna cry? When you're out there doin' what you're doin' Are you just getting by by by

MY interpretation: The relationship is a mess. You think it's damaged. You think it was wrong, or you or they have ruined it by what you or they have done. Is your heart still soft enough that it makes you wanna cry? You're trying to go about life and not think about it or worry about it or leave it behind, but are you just getting by when it's not really as fulfilling as if you would stop and turn around and go back to see if you can fix the ruin, stop the hurt, and feel so much better than just getting by? You could get through it and make that relationship better than it's ever been. You can have more love than you ever imagined and you can work at it to keep those in love dream feelings. Or you can just have closure to the relationship, so that you can heal instead of wondering and hurting because you didn't address it by trying. There isn't much of a need for interpretation to this set.

Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame. Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned. But just because it burns - Doesn't mean you're gonna die. You gotta get up and try, and try, and try. You gotta get up and try, and try, and try.
You gotta get up and try, and try, and try.

You gotta get up and try, and try, and try. You gotta get up and try, and try, and try. You gotta get up and try, and try, and try. You gotta get up and try, and try, and try.

I think she's reminded you what you gotta do ... be strong, try, keep trying without deadline.

I think you nailed it on the head. Nice job and GREAT song!
