You never really have to think twice if it's love, because you'll just know, deep in your bones, you know. This song's always given me the vibe of "forbidden relationship," I guess because of the dark undertones which imply that they only have one shot at being together. The girl won't admit how she feels and he realizes she won't, but he's saying that no matter what happens, she'll always have to live with him in her past. She can deny her feelings to him all she wants but she can't really deny them to herself. The whole "at friendship we failed, as lovers we didn't" seems to say to me that outside forces kept them apart, but deep down they both love each other, regardless, though they can't be together.
I love the part about setting someone's soul on fire so that even when they leave, they'll have you with them long afterwards. It's a nice consolation when you feel forgotten or like things are beyond repair with someone.
