White Flag
Unwavering Love: Chris van Dutch & Felix Schorn's Resilient White Flag
Lyrics
I know you think that I shouldn't still love you
I still love you despite your belief that I shouldn't.
Or tell you that
Reiterating the intention to express feelings.
But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it
Even if unspoken, the love would still be felt.
Where's the sense in that?
Questioning the logic behind not expressing love.
I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Ensuring that love isn't meant to make life harder.
Or return to where we were
No desire to return to past difficulties.
I will go down with this ship
Commitment to stay loyal despite challenges.
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
Refusal to surrender or give up on the relationship.
There will be no white flag above my door
No willingness to display a symbol of surrender.
I'm in love and always will be
Declaring enduring love.
I know I left too much mess and
Acknowledging past mistakes and damage.
Destruction to come back again
Recognition that returning might cause more harm.
And I caused nothing but trouble
Owning up to causing trouble in the relationship.
I understand if you can't talk to me again
Acceptance if communication becomes difficult.
And if you live by the rules of it's over
Understanding the consequences of following breakup rules.
Then I'm sure that that makes sense
Belief that following rules makes sense in ending things.
I will go down with this ship
Reiteration of commitment to endure difficulties.
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
Refusal to give up or surrender in the face of challenges.
There will be no white flag above my door
Emphasis on not showing a symbol of surrender.
I'm in love and always will be
Reaffirmation of persistent love.
And when we meet
Anticipating a future meeting.
Which I'm sure we will
Expressing confidence in a future encounter.
All that was there
Belief that past feelings will endure.
Will be there still
Assurance that past emotions will remain unchanged.
I'll let it pass
Choosing to let things pass without confrontation.
And hold my tongue
Opting to remain silent and not express feelings.
And you will think
Expectation that the other person may think the singer moved on.
That I've moved on
Commitment to endure difficulties despite appearances.
I will go down with this ship
Reiteration of loyalty and commitment despite challenges.
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
Refusal to give up or surrender despite hardships.
There will be no white flag above my door
Emphasis on no symbol of surrender being displayed.
I'm in love and always will be
Continued declaration of enduring love.
I will go down with this ship
Reaffirmation of commitment to endure challenges.
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
Refusal to surrender despite difficulties.
There will be no white flag above my door
Emphasis on no symbol of surrender being shown.
I'm in love and always will be
Persistent declaration of enduring love.
I will go down with this ship
Reiteration of commitment to stay loyal despite challenges.
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
Refusal to give up or surrender in the face of difficulties.
There will be no white flag above my door
Emphasis on not displaying a symbol of surrender.
I'm in love and always will be
Final declaration of persistent and enduring love.
