Fix You - Cold Play

"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

When 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

High up above or down below

When you too in love to let it go

If you never try you will never know

Just what your 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 on your face

And I..

Tears stream down your face

I promise you I will learn from my mistakes

Tears stream down on your face

And I..

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you.

I think the song is more about someone trying very hard to do things right in his life but somehow he can never be good enough . He settles for the second best. [When you try your best, but you dont succeed; When you get what you want, but not what you need] He gets so tired of everything and feels in despair because it seems like everything he has done was in vain and sometimes he feels like giving up. But at the same time, he really hopes for someone or something to save him from giving up totally, or to guide him to somewhere where everything seems more familiar (hence the reference about lights will guide you home), and for someone to tell him that he can put everything right again.....
