White Flag
A.P.A. Lyrics

I know you think that I shouldn't still love you
I recognize that you may believe that I should no longer love you

Or tell you that
Or communicate that feeling to you

But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it
However, if I hadn't expressed it, I would still experience that emotion

Where's the sense in that?
What purpose would be served by keeping quiet?

I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
I swear that it's not my intention to increase the difficulty of your life

Or return to where we were
Or revert to the state of our past relationship

I will go down with this ship
I am committed and determined to see this relationship through to its end

And I won't put my hands up and surrender
And I refuse to give up or concede defeat

There will be no white flag above my door
I will not display a symbol of surrender or acceptance of defeat

I'm in love and always will be
I am currently in love with you and plan to remain so indefinitely

I know I left too much mess and
I am aware that I caused chaos and disruption

Destruction to come back again
That may prohibit the possibility of reconciliation

And I caused nothing but trouble
My actions only caused complications and difficulty

I understand if you can't talk to me again
I comprehend if you refuse to communicate with me any further

And if you live by the rules of it's over
And if you choose to abide by the rule of our relationship being over

Then I'm sure that that makes sense
Then it's reasonable to hold that opinion

And when we meet
If we come across each other in the future

Which I'm sure we will
A scenario which I am confident will take place

All that was there
All that had previously existed

Will be there still
Will remain in its current state

I'll let it pass
I will allow any grievances or conflicts to be forgotten

And hold my tongue
And refrain from sharing any more of my feelings

And you will think
And you may infer

That I've moved on
That I've progressed mentally and emotionally

I will go down with this ship
I will remain committed and devoted to this relationship

And I won't put my hands up and surrender
And I refuse to yield or give up

There will be no white flag above my door
I will not display a symbol of surrender or acceptance of defeat

I'm in love and always will be
My love for you will persist eternally

I will go down with this ship
I will remain fully committed to this relationship through thick and thin

And I won't put my hands up and surrender
And I refuse to forfeit or relinquish this relationship

There will be no white flag above my door
I will not give up or concede defeat

I'm in love and always will be
My love for you is unwavering and eternal
