Fix You
Coldplay (cover) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 all 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
The lyrics to Coldplay's song "Fix You" deal with themes of struggle, loss, and the power of love to heal. The first verse describes how despite trying your best, you can still fall short of your goals and feel lost, "stuck in reverse." The second verse touches on the pain of losing something you can't replace and the heartache of a love that doesn't work out. However, the chorus offers hope and comfort by promising that love will guide you home and ignite your spirit, and that the singer will try their best to help and heal the person they love.
The song's powerful message of comfort and healing has resonated with millions of fans around the world, and it has become one of Coldplay's most beloved and iconic hits. The song's soaring melody and heartfelt lyrics make it a true anthem of hope and resilience in the face of life's challenges.

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

When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

"If you never try, you’ll never know." The thing we don’t appreciate is, that trying new things, setting yourself in different surroundings, and getting out of your comfort zone can be the most amazing experience!
