meaning of this song?

Hey, oriental. Welcome to A2K. Let's take a look at the lyrics:

Artist: Michael Bolton Lyrics
Song: SAID I LOVED YOU...BUT I LIED Lyrics


You are the candle, love's the flame
A fire that burns through wind and rain
Shine your light on this heart of mine
Till the end of time
You came to me like the dawn through the night
Just shinin' like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one

CHORUS:
Said I loved you but I lied
'Cause this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you but I was wrong
'Cause love could never ever feel so strong
Said I loved you but I lied


With all my soul I've tried in vain
How can mere words my heart explain
This taste of heaven so deep so true
I've found in you
So many reasons in so many ways
My life has just begun
Need you forever, I need you to stay
You are the one, you are the one


CHORUS:


You came to me like the dawn through the night
Just shinin' like the sun
Out of my dreams and into my life
You are the one, you are the one


CHORUS:


Said I loved you
But this is more than love I feel inside
Said I loved you....But I lied


In other words, just saying "I love you" was not powerful enough to show the man's love for this woman.
