i heard this song a few years ago but never really understood it until now. I kinda started dating this guy, he was supermodel gorgeous, funny, smart and everything i wanted. But my insecurities got to me and my friends telling me he could get any girl he wanted didn't help either..so when i thought he wasn't putting enough effort into it..i immediately felt rejected. and so i turned to his best friend..in the moment i wasn't thinking and slept with him (i know it's horrible..but it's the biggest regret of my life). He ofcourse found out about it and told me that he never wanted to speak to me again. So when dido sings " i know you think that i shouldn't still love you or tell you that but if i didn't say it well i'd still have felt it wheres the sense in that" For me this says exactly what i feel.. i love him..but i can't tell him because i know he wouldn't give me a chance or love me back. But i want to tell him soo badly. and i think this is what the writer means with the first verse. And for me surrendering and putting up the white flag means; being vulnerable and telling him how i feel because i know it won't be returned. 'i will go down with this ship' i think means that the choices or mistakes i have made have consequences and i have to stick to my choices even if they were the wrong ones.. because of all the 'mess and destruction' that i have left i dont think we can be together. And because of the damage that is done it doesnt matter anymore if i tell him how i feel..it would only make his life harder..so thats why i cant surrender my feelings and will hold my tongue.. even though i will love him always. i know that this is a specific situation.. but i feel it really captures how i feel and i think a lot of people that have made mistakes and lost the one they love because of them can relate to it. I think this is my favorite song now<3 |
