　　(No)White flag
　　
　　I know you think that I shouldn’t still love you
　　I’ll tell you that
　　But if I didn’t say it
　　Well, I’d still have felt it
　　Where’s the sense in that?
　　I promise I’m not trying to make your life harder
　　Or return to where we were
　　Well I will go down with this ship
　　And I won’t put my hands up and surrender
　　There will be no white flag above my door
　　I’m in love and always will be
　　I know I left too much mess
　　And destruction to come back again
　　And I caused nothing but trouble
　　I understand if you can’t talk to me again
　　And if you live by the rules of “It’s over”
　　Then I’m sure that that makes sense
　　Well I will go down with this ship
　　And I won’t put my hands up and surrender
　　There will be no white flag above my door
　　I’m in love and always will be
　　And when we meet
　　As I’m sure we will
　　All that was then
　　Will be there still
　　I’ll let it pass
　　And hold my tongue
　　And you will think
　　That I’ve moved on
　　Well I will go down with this ship
　　And I won’t put my hands up and surrender
　　There will be no white flag above my door
　　I’m in love and always will be
　　Well I will go down with this ship
　　And I won’t put my hands up and surrender
　　There will be no white flag above my door
　　I’m in love and always will be
　　I will go down with this ship
　　And I won’t put my hands up and surrender
　　There will be no white flag above my door
　　I’m in love and always will be
