White Flag
White Flag - Dido Lyrics

I know you think that I shouldn't still love you
I understand that you may feel that way because of everything that happened, but I still have love for you.

Or tell you that
I might not express it directly, but my love for you still exists.

But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it
If I didn't tell you that I still love you, I would have still had these feelings inside me.

Where's the sense in that?
What's the point of hiding how I feel even though it may not change anything?

I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder or return to where we were
I swear I don't want to complicate your life or go back to how things were before.

But I will go down with this ship
I am committed to this relationship, and I will stay until the end.

And I won't put my hands up and surrender
I won't give up on us easily and won't surrender to the challenges we face.

There will be no white flag above my door
I won't show any sign of defeat or surrender.

I'm in love and always will be
My love is genuine, and it will stay.

I know I left too much mess and destruction to come back again
I understand I hurt you and created chaos that may make it hard for us to reconnect.

And I caused nothing but trouble
I acknowledge my mistakes and take responsibility for the problems we faced.

I understand if you can't talk to me again
I get it if you don't want to communicate with me anymore.

And if you live by the rules of it's over then I'm sure that makes sense
If you see this relationship as over and don't want to give us another chance, I respect your decision.

And when we meet, which I'm sure we will
I believe that our paths will cross again.

All that was then will be there still
Whatever happened in the past will still be a part of us when we meet again.

I'll let it pass
I won't hold onto any resentment or grudges when we meet again.

And hold my tongue
I will be silent and won't bring up any negative feelings when we meet again.

And you will think that I've moved on, I will go down with this ship
You may believe that I've moved on, but deep down, my feelings haven't changed, and I'll stay committed.

And I won't put my hands up and surrender
Despite any challenges or obstacles, I won't give up on us.

There will be no white flag above my door
I won't give any indication of conceding or quitting in our relationship.

I'm in love and always will be
My love for you will stay even through the toughest of times.

I will go down with this ship
I will remain committed to our relationship until the very end.

And I won't put my hands up and surrender
I won't surrender or give up on our relationship despite any difficulties we may face.

There will be no white flag above my door
I won't back down or concede in our relationship, and I will continue to fight for us.

I'm in love and always will be
My love is authentic, and no matter what happens, it will persevere.
