oh oh oh

No matter what you say about love I keep coming back for more Sooner or later I get what I’m asking for
 * Keep my hand in the fire- Idiom, She didn't really put her hand in a fire. **

No matter what you say about life I learn every time I bleed 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

I can’t waste time so give it a moment I realize nothings broken No need to worry about everything I’ve done Live every second like it was my last one Don’t look back got a new direction I loved you once, needed protection You’re still a part of everything I do Just like a tattoo I’ll always have you (I'll always have you)
 * You’re on my heart just like a tattoo- similie, She's comparing her heart to a tattoo. **

Sick of playing all of these games It’s not about taking sides When I looked in the mirror didn’t deliver It hurt enough to think that I could stop Sorry but I’ve gotta be strong and leave you behind- End Rhyme, They are rhyming at the end of the sentence. **
 * Admit that I’m wrong and then change my mind

I can’t waste time so give it a moment I realize nothings broken No need to worry about everything I’ve done Live every second like it was my last one Don’t look back got a new direction I loved you once, needed protection You’re still a part of everything I do You’re on my heart just like a tattoo I’ll always have you (I'll always have you)- Imagery, Visualizing a tattoo. **
 * Just like a tattoo

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, oh

I can’t waste time so give it a moment I realize nothings broken (yeah) No need to worry about everything I’ve done Live every second like it was my last one Don’t look back got a new direction (don't look back) I loved you once, needed protection (no, no) You’re still a part of everything I do You’re on my heart just like a tattoo

I can’t waste time so give it a moment (i can't waste time) I realized nothings broken No need to worry about everything I’ve done (no need to worry) Live every second like it was my last one Don’t look back at got a new direction (don't you ever look back) I loved you once and I needed protection You’re still a part of everything I do You’re on my heart just like a tattoo Just like a tattoo I’ll always have you

 Meaning:
==== even though she loves him, bigger things in life are forcing her to leave him, but she still wants him to know she will never be able to forget or replace him and what he did for her. he has made an amazing impact in her life and has filled her heart with a spot that can never be removed, replaced, or forgotten. very touching song, but sadly it is often how life goes. ====
