Lyrics of White Flag by Bishop Briggs
verse
Take a hit, shoot me down, shoot me down
I will never hit the ground, hit the ground
Playing dead, I′ll never do
Gotta keep an eye on you
Patience is wearing thin, paper thin
Promises broke again, what a sin
But it only feeds my energy
So don't expect no sympathy
pre-chorus
Smoke, fire, it′s all going up
Don't you know I ain't afraid to shed a little blood
Smoke, fire, flares are going up, flares are going up
chorus
Oh, won′t wave my white flag, no
This time I won′t let go
I'd rather die
Than give up the fight, give up the fight
Give up the fight, give up the fight
Won′t wave my white flag, no
Oh, I won't go down slow
I′d rather die
Than give up the fight, give up the fight
Give up the fight, give up the fight
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
verse
Put an X on my chest, on my chest
But I'm still standing ′cause I won't forget
The hell on earth you put me through
I'll save myself in spite of you
pre-chorus
Smoke, fire, it′s all going up
Don′t you know I ain't afraid to shed a little blood
Smoke, fire, flares are going up, flares are going up
chorus
Oh, won′t wave my white flag, no
This time I won't let go
I′d rather die
Than give up the fight, give up the fight
Give up the fight, give up the fight
Won't wave my white flag, no
Oh, I won′t go down slow
I'd rather die
Than give up the fight, give up the fight
Give up the fight, give up the fight
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
bridge
White flag never going up, never going up, no, no
White flag never going up, never going up, no, no
White flag never going up, never going up, no, no
chorus
Oh, won't wave my white flag, no (wave my white flag)
This time I won′t let go (won′t let go)
I'd rather die
Than give up the fight, give up the fight
Give up the fight, give up the fight
Won′t wave my white flag, no (wave my white flag)
Oh, I won't go down slow (go down slow)
I′d rather die
Than give up the fight, give up the fight
Give up the fight, give up the fight
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
outro
Wave my white flag
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Raise my white flag, no
