Coldplay - Fix You Lyrics

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I

Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

  Such a beautiful song.

• Chris Obiora

  First time of listening to a song and shed tears. I cried...but it was happy tears.

• Angelique Van Wyk

  I love listening to this song when I'm sad.

• Martina Greene Leverett

  I can seriously relate to this song.........as sometimes no matter how hard you try you can not control the actions of people you love or circumstances that others or life throws your way!

  I really love this song because it shows you that sometimes in life you can´t just have all what you want and it´s an excellent topic to discuss in class with my students from school in Paraguay.

  I can't seem to listen to "Fix You" without tears streaming down my face. That song just gets me deep within my heart every time. Especially after almost losing my mom this year. We had to help fix her so she could heal, get better and live. This song is such an inspiration. That in the end there's always hope. Thank you to Coldplay and Chris Martin for such beautiful music, that has helped me through some tough times.

  I used this to discuss with my teenagers in a PSHE Lesson what the allegorical meanings were in the lyrics. Very thought provoking and the cause of a very lively discussion

  This song is really close to my life. The meaning of this song to me is that there are certain things missing in ones life which give them a strong feeling of rejection, depression or a state of instability towards living their life properly. You get everything but those are not the ones you actually need to be happy. If u r not happy with your life there is nothing that can give you that happiness except the actual thing that you need. But there is someone for everyone who wont let you leave he wont let it over no matter how depressed you get there is someone somewhere for everyone. Good Luck
