White Flag Lyrics

My guard fell for you today
Now I will surrender
Take this prisoner
Make him something better

Reach down and pull me up
Don't let your captive go
Cause love's wounds have made me weak
Can't stand up on my own

[Chorus]
Cause you bring me to my knees
For you I'd do anything

White flag flies above
This is what I've chosen
I'll change everything
Now that my pride is broken

[Chorus]
Cause you bring me to my knees
For you I'd do anything

The grace you give will always fill me up
And I'll savour every bit of that fortune
But if in time this love turns to dust
I pray I don't endure that torture

[Chorus]
Cause you bring me to my knees
For you I'd do anything
Can you show me how to feel again
I'll do anything you need my friend
And together we will always span time
For you I'd do anything

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
