    Lyrics
    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
    Where's the sense in that?
    I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
    Or return to where we were
    But 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 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
    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
    Which I'm sure we will
    All that was there
    Will be there still
    I'll let it pass
    And hold my tongue
    And you will think
    That I've moved on....
    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 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 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

    The most beautiful thing about these songs of our past is the comment section, where you read the comments of so many peoples from all around the world who are here again after all those years sharing their memories, experiences. It feels like you are surrounded by lots of friends who were going through phase of their life same as you some bitter or sweet that have been etched in our hearts and minds and now we all are reminiscing those memories, some crying some laughing but altogether. One thing is for sure that era was the best compared to today.

    This song is about two people who love each other, but are unable to declare themselves, out of shame, fear or cowardice. When they come close to this, they give wrong signals to others that they are misunderstood and can never be together. Don't be cowards, it hurts and your heart is broken in the end! Declare yourself!

    Music is a time capsule. In this age of so much political, religious, and cultural division, music is seemingly one of the main things we can all agree on. Brings us to time and a place in our lives; sad, happy, angry, thrilled, silly or otherwise and just makes us "feel" life.

Love give us the oportunity to explore a whole spectrum of emotions and allows us to choose the one that makes us feel exactly like this song... to never give up on LOVE, never give up on ourselves.

      Way to make a guy jump back to Xmas '06 in Reno. My friends were called for at least 6 hours per day for the week my family stayed at my uncles. 5.5/6 hours were the songs they played on the boombox by the phone with the other 1/2 hour being requests of what to play next XD I'm only now realizing how self-centered and selfish I may have seemed to some people considering Indonesia did just have that Tsunami on Xmas day.... Screw you phone lines, music was waaay more important to me at the time than people trying to reach whomever they needed to and make sure their families were ok.....

      Today the Roman and his trouble
      Are ashes under Uricon"

      same selfish wounded hearts
      same pointless tears
      same loneliness so acute you think you'll fall over when it hits
      same despair so deep that only Morrisey can understand me.
      Same stupidity, same dreams
      all so po faced and serious.

      No, she isn't underrated because she was a huge pop idol in her generation (early 00's). But then, she decided to take a brake and make a family. When she came back, a lot of new singers like...yes, the Taylors, the Katys and Mileys took her place. Now Dido's albums are just a bunch of masterpieces on nostalgia trips. World changes and keeps spinning everyday, bro. And even the pop stars couldn't escape from that.

    What a selfless song.
    From the video, it looks like he’s still just as in love with her as she is, or at least wishes her well. Who knows?
    But at the end of the day, it is true that in some cases like this, two people who do deeply love each other shouldn’t be together for their own sakes. It may not have been infidelity or something terrible that tore them apart, but whatever it was can’t be forgotten and may not be able to be mended. Or they just weren’t a good match.
    So she pretends to move on despite how much she loves him and is very graceful about it to keep them both from getting hurt further. Love this.

      I love the song, but the video takes it in a bad direction when it pans from him to the wall, her face circled and the word "MINE" written under it. That is stalker level unhealthy obsession.

    It was the time of crossing into 21st century ... Millennial optimism ... Her music, Air, Coldplay, Radiohead, Massive Attack, PJ, ... made us feeling we are floating into new soft limitless era... Who would imagine that the reversal will happen, a kind of pitfall and degradation in music (as it is in the most of culture), in a way that it is hard to find such a unique melody or a true expression ... Thank you, Dido 💗

      Couldn't have said it better. Even though I was born in 93, I feel that 90s and early 00s were really a special time in human history, nothing would ever match that vibe. Music, movies, pop culture, technology they truly reached their peak then and everything sucks now.

      You either believe an artist or you don’t
      Hitting high’s and wobbling is to me many others annoying & I guess I’m used to singers that don’t do this, maybe now and again, but today it’s fashionable, but if the song is sang with emotion, it shouldn’t need a crescendo & fireworks
      We are all different and if you like that then great
      It’s only my opinion, & I don’t mean to sound arrogant, but I have a theory that less is more
      I go to see live music every week & I love all those songs played with an acoustic guitar & a voice & no impersonating either Adel or Ed Sherran & simply sing, you may well laugh but my top singers are Tom Waites & Kim Carnes because I believe them as I do Bob Dylan also
      Cheers
