Fix u
Coldplay Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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're too in love to let it go
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

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

When you try hard to fix someone.
I hope you'll learn,that giving yourself to someone fully,you might get your heart broken in pieces.
I hope you can handle it,in this cruel world there's little space for love to flourish.
But just live,live for the sake of love, don't lose your hope.
Because people who stay hopeful will meet love in the end.
No matter how much you wait,wait for love.
Live love,share love and remember you're always loved.
Tibute to a friend,I hope you'll find your way,your love...
Dear friend Mars.
