England I Still Believe

You were my first but we didn't go all the way
For better or worse it wasn't to be
We threw it away on a beautiful day
Back in '96, we got our kicks
We came so close but in the end we missed
You broke my heart and nothing's changed

Starting to hear your name about town again (England)
Remembering how you let me down
You let me down again and again
But it's no good 'cause if I could
Go all the way with you, you know I would
You were the one who got away

England, England, England, I'm still in love
Oh, England, England, even after everything you've done
I'm on my knees but I can't leave
I feel you running through my bloodstream
England, oh can you see?

I still believe, England
And I still dream, England
I still believe, England
And I still dream, England
You're still my team

Everyone knows how you've been playing away
I've been telling myself, "Don't you get tricked"
Convincing myself that you changed
I can't seem to stop the dream
It's our year, baby, 2018
Oh, I know we can go all the way

England, England, England, I'm still in love
Oh, England, England, even after everything you've done
I'm on my knees but I can't leave
I feel you running through my bloodstream
England, well can you see?

I still believe, England
And I still dream, England
I still believe, England
And I still dream, England
God save the Queen, England
2018, England

I still believe
I still believe
Oh, I still believe
So sing with me, come on!

La la la, la la la la la (England)
La la la, la la la la la (England)
La la la, la la la la la (England)
La la la, la la la la la (England)

Now can you see? (La la la, la la la la la) (England)
I still believe (la la la, la la la la la) (England)
