/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/
It has been three years since I've been able to look into those emeralds of yours and see the sparkle them. I had been afraid that night and I know it had been wrong. Everything is my fault, I know. Fear that took me over and I know now that because I gave into that fear, it cost me a perfect future with you. You won't take me back and I don't blame you. You deserve better than me, I know.
/I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were/
It's been so many years and I still think about you every night. Three years since I messed up. Four years since I fell in love with your soul. I know there's no way to turn back now and change the past. I'm not trying to complicate things in any way. I know you've got your life, and I've got mine.
/Well I will go down with the 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/
No matter, what I want you to know that I still hold you dear to my heart. That never changed, nor will it ever. If the world is to ask if I still love you, no matter what happens, I will not deny my feelings. I will not give in and say that I do not love you because I do. I will not surrender to all that you may have said or to what anyone else says. The love I have for you will never waver.
/I know I left too mush 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 'its over'Then I'm sure that that makes sense/
I know you loved me and I let you down. I not only gave into my fears but I gave up on you when you never let go of my hand. You kept waiting and I was impatient and went on with my life when in my heart I knew I would never be fully happy until I could hold you in my arms. I caused so much pain in your heart I understand if you hate me forever. If we never talk again, I understand. You've always been strong of heart and when your mind is made up, there's no changing it. That's one reason why I love you so much.
/Well I will go down with the 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 never deny what I feel for you, I will never give in to what others think of me. I will never let anyone think that I do not love you. If they threaten to take away my life unless I denounce my feelings, I will accept death with open arms. I will never let my love for you be thought of as anything but real.
/And when we meet
Which 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…/
I know that no matter what, fate will not keep letting me die as I am now. We will be together one day, whether it be in friendship or more, I know we will meet again. That is when all the feelings will return to you my lion. That is when you will remember all we shared together. All those times you protected me, all those times you saw right through my exterior and read my interior and took hold of my fears to help me face them. But I will not say anything. I let you think that I no longer cared. I let you think that my feelings had no longer been there. I hadn't let you know how many times I cried for you every night.
/Well I will go down with the 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 not deny and I will not back down. When the army comes I will fight them off with the pain of not having your around. I will never give in; I will never let them think differently. If they do not accept, then let them take me. Let them kill me, let them cut me. I will never let them think for one moment, that I never loved you because that is exactly what I feel.
/Well I will go down with the 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 won't back down, no matter what they say, no matter what they take, no matter what they do. I will let them do as they wish. They think I'm evil but I am not. All I want to do is love, and loving you has never felt so right.
/Well I will go down with the 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 never deny what we had together. I still dream of those days, Harry. I still remember every detail, every ragged breath. I will never let them think I have forgotten. If they ask I will tell. If they pry I will let them know. I will never ever let them think I have let them win because they will never win. They can't win until they understand. They will never understand all those nights; they will never understand all the longing between us. They will never understand true love because that's what we have. We have true love and they denied it.
