It's an album with beautiful songs and I love this album very much.Reasons of the choiCe
We have chosen this song because it's a very touching song which tells a beautiful love story.
The meaning of the song
This is the story of a man and a woman who have separated but the woman stil loves him. They meet without seeing each other. The woman has left him, but now she regrets it. She is aware that she has made a big mistake but she is ready to accept the fact he doesn't love her any more.
The lyrics of "White flag"
I know you think that I shouldn't 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 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 makes sense
Well I will go down with this ship
And 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
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
