I Know You Think That I Shouldn’t Still Love You

Jim Adams, aka Newepicauthor, the creator of A Unique Title For Me, is hosting SONG-LYRIC-SUNDAY and this week he has chosen the theme: MIND/THINK/BRAIN

Another fantastic theme for this week, with plenty of brilliant songs to choose from. So I have chosen the track that registers with me on a personal level.

It is a song about not giving up on a love even though there have been considerable challenges. Jack and I had more than our fair share of challenges. But….the ship, though damaged in destructive storms, refused to sink. Here we are…stronger than ever, we did not give up.

I think that even in those darkest years I knew something that was not changing, it was not changing, “I’m in love and always will be”.

The song was a big hit for Dido around the world, and won “Best British Single” at the 2004 Brit Awards. Well deserved. To me it is an enduring emotional song that I will always be fond of.

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
