Fix This
Colourist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Keeping up, keeping my head up
For what I thought was so right
Guess I'm not right always
And I thought love was a fight
You could tear each other down
Then come back to life
Guess I don't live always
Your set backs add up
I was wrong about us
Don't slam that door shut, just yet.
Hear me out
I wont sleep tonight
You wont leave this house
See you shaking but you wont let it out
We can make this right
I wont leave this house
I will fix this somehow
I tried so hard
Lift your lie
And I never showed you my cold feet, just my pride
Guess it killed you always
But I see light in your eyes
Even though I don't know how you can up the fight
Guess I cant win always
Your set backs add up
I was wrong about us
Don't turn and walk out just yet
Hear me out
I wont sleep tonight
You wont leave this house
See you shaking but you wont let it out
We can make this right
I wont leave this house
I will fix this somehow
I will fix this somehow
And you wont say
And you wont say
And you wont say we're done
And you wont say we're done
I won't let this go on
I wont let this go
And you wont say we're done
And you wont say we're done
I wont let this go on
I wont let this go
Hear me out
I wont sleep tonight
You wont leave this house
See you shaking but you wont let it out
We can make this right
I wont leave this house
I will fix this somehow
Hear me out
I wont sleep tonight
You wont leave this house
See you shaking but you wont let it out
We can make this right
I wont leave this house
I will fix this somehow
I will fix this somehow
I will fix this somehow
The song Fix This by The Colourist is a heartfelt ballad about trying to make amends after a broken relationship. The lyrics touch on the idea that love is not always easy and that conflicts can arise, but it is worth working through the struggles to try to fix what is broken. The singer reminisces about how they once thought love was a fight, where they could tear each other down and bring each other back up again. However, they have come to realize that this approach is not always effective, and they may not always be able to win the fight.
The pre-chorus suggests that the setbacks in the relationship have added up, and the singer may have been wrong about their relationship. However, they are not willing to give up just yet, and they plead with their partner to hear them out and give them a chance to make things right. They are willing to stay up all night and try to work through their issues. The chorus repeats the idea of not wanting their partner to leave the house without fixing things, and they believe they can make things right if they just keep trying.
In the second verse, the singer admits their own mistakes, saying they lifted their "lie" and never showed their partner their "cold feet." However, they see hope in their partner's eyes and want to continue fighting for their relationship. The bridge suggests that the partner may be ready to give up, but the singer is not willing to let things end just yet. They won't let things go on without trying to fix them.
Overall, Fix This is a moving song that speaks to the complexities of love and relationships. It acknowledges that conflicts can arise and mistakes can be made, but it advocates for the power of perseverance and forgiveness in trying to make things right.

I tried so hard
I did my best
Keeping up, keeping my head up
I tried to stay positive
For what I thought was so right
I believed that what we had was worth fighting for
Guess I'm not right always
But I realize now that I was wrong
And I thought love was a fight
I believed that love was about battling through hard times
You could tear each other down
Even if it meant hurting each other in the process
Then come back to life
And still be able to reconcile and start anew
Guess I don't live always
But now I see that this isn't always the case
Your set backs add up
Your problems are piling up
I was wrong about us
I made a mistake in thinking we could make it work
Don't slam that door shut, just yet.
Please don't give up on us just yet
Hear me out
Please listen to what I have to say
I wont sleep tonight
This is keeping me up all night
You wont leave this house
I won't let you go without trying to fix things
See you shaking but you wont let it out
I can see that you're upset, but you're holding it in
We can make this right
We can work through this and fix things
I wont leave this house
I won't give up on us and leave you alone
I will fix this somehow
I'll do whatever it takes to make things right
Lift your lie
I tried to make you happier
And I never showed you my cold feet, just my pride
I never showed you my fear, just my confidence
Guess it killed you always
But I realize now that this caused you pain
But I see light in your eyes
I still see hope in your gaze
Even though I don't know how you can up the fight
Even though I don't know how you'll find the strength to keep fighting
Guess I cant win always
But I realize now that I don't always have to be right
Don't turn and walk out just yet
Please don't give up on us just yet
And you wont say we're done
I hope you won't say it's over
I won't let this go on
I'll do whatever it takes to fix things
I wont let this go
I won't give up on us that easily
Hear me out
Please listen to me
I will fix this somehow
I'll do whatever it takes to make things right

I heard the outro of this song one night. I work at a Trader Joe's so they have like the most random satellite stations on. But man, I heard the last few 'I will fix this some how' and googled it right away. So glad I did.
