This song is about a married woman ending a love affair. "I keep coming back for more, keep my hand in the fire sooner or later, I'll get what I'm asking for" She is married. She is in a secret relationship and if it continues she will eventually get caught, get burned, it will destroy her marriage, her family, her life. "the truth is a Stranger, soul is in danger, I gotta let my spirit be free, to Admit that I'm wrong and then change my mind, Sorry but I have to move on and leave you behind" She has been lying. She has been sinning. She realizes the mistake she's made. She realizes that her actions are wrong and that she must get her life back on the right track. She must move on and this her lover can not be a part of her life any longer. "I can't waste time so give it a moment I realize nothing's broken..." She can't continue the relationship a moment longer. But the relationship with her lover is perfect, wonderful, happy. They love each other and the breakup has nothing to do with the relationship and love between them. "I'm sick of playing all of these games, Its not bout taking sides, When I looked in the mirror, It didn't deliver, it hurt enough to think that I could stop, Admit that I'm wrong and then change my mind, Sorry but I got to be strong and leave you behind." She woke up one morning looked in the mirror and realized the mistake she'd made. She knew the relationship couldn't continue. She knew she was wrong. She knew that she needed to give her heart back to her husband. Breaking up with the man she's in love with and having an affair with is not easy. She needs to be strong and do the right thing. It will take strength to do the right thing and leave him behind because she truly loves him. "If I live every moment,Won't change any moment,There's still a part of me in you, I will never regret you, Still the memory of you, Marks everything I do" She had a great relationship with her lover. She is happy to have met him. She is happy for the special time they shared together. She will never regret meeting him, because he is a wonderful and special person. He has left a lasting impression on her life. "You're in my heart just like a tattoo." She loves him. He has left an everlasting mark on her heart. But she must move on. She must do the right thing and abruptly end the affair.
