White Flag

I know that feeling all to well. It will never end and I don’t know if I will ever move on. Its so hard when your life if placed on hold, waiting for something and you don’t even know what it is. You are constantly holding your breath for that… thing to happen. Of course it never comes. And your brain slowly dies from lack of oxygen. And soon you are somehow hollow, just wandering through life like a wraith. And you don’t trust and you try not to feel. And people wonder why you are a cold-blooded bitch. Broken hearts and shattered dreams made you such. You are like Sleeping Beauty, waiting for your Prince to come and break the spell, wake you up and save you from yourself. Before you destroy everything and everyone.

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 but 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
