New Jersey native Lauren Frawley knew she wanted to be a singer from the time she was a kindergartner. In 2015, she drew the attention of labels, management, and millions of listeners when her uploaded cover of Alessia Cara's "Here" went viral. She was 14 at the time. Subsequent covers included songs made famous by the likes of Adele and Demi Lovato. As a high school student, she dedicated time away from school to practicing piano, learning to play guitar, and working on writing songs.
After finishing high school and signing with Island Records, Frawley issued her debut single, "Hard Boy," in mid-2019. She followed it later in the year with tracks including the Beck-referencing "Losers," "Easy," and a label-issued cover of the Cranberries' "Zombie." More singles followed in 2020 and 2021, including "Knocking on My Heart," "Austin's Song," and "No One Can Fix Me," the latter of which became her biggest hit to date. During this time, Frawley was racking up co-writing credits (Hunter Hayes, Dixie D’Amelio, Tate McRae, and Icona Pop) and working with John Legend. She kicked off 2022 with the punchy "Kiss and Tell" and the wistful "If I Don't Laugh, I'll Cry."
No One Can Fix Me
Frawley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They say to stay away from pills
That too much liquor makes you ill
But no one warned me about you
No one warned me about you
They say that drugs will melt your mind
I′ve heard that talk a million times
But there were none in front of you
No one warned me about you
You′re gonna send me to the ER
With the things you do to my heart
They could give me all the stitches
But part of me is missing
It's you, it's you
And oh my heart breaks when you keep your distance
I get headaches, it′s just one of the symptoms
I′m a rare case and nobody knows what to do
'Cause no one can fix me but you
Last night I think I dreamed of you
Woke up with tons of black and blue
I swear to God my heart is bruised
And I don′t know what I should do
I don't know what I should do
You′re gonna send me to the ER
With the things you do to my heart
They could give me all the stitches
But part of me is missing
It's you, it′s you
And oh my heart breaks when you keep your distance
I get headaches, it's just one of the symptoms
I'm a rare case and nobody knows what to do
′Cause no one can fix
And oh my heart breaks when you keep your distance
I get headaches, it′s just one of the symptoms
I'm a rare case and nobody knows what to do
′Cause no one can fix me but you
And oh my heart breaks when you keep your distance
I get headaches, it's just one of the symptoms
I′m a rare case and nobody knows what to do
Nobody knows what to do
'Cause no one can fix me but you
Yeah
Frawley's song No One Can Fix Me is an emotionally-charged track that paints a picture of a person in love with someone who is not healthy for them. The lyrics of the song are filled with vivid references to substance abuse and addiction. The singer of the song acknowledges that cigarettes, pills, and alcohol are harmful, but no one warned them about the person they are in love with. They are fully aware of the toxic nature of their relationship, but they cannot seem to let go of the love they have for the person.
The lyrics of the song are quite graphic in the way it portrays the physical and emotional effects of being in a toxic relationship. The singer notes that their heart is broken when the person they love keeps their distance, and they get headaches, which is just one of the symptoms. They are a "rare case" with nobody knowing what to do as no one can fix them except the person they love.
The song is a powerful portrayal of codependency, where the person is deeply intertwined and connected to their toxic partner. It depicts the desperation and despair of being in a relationship that is harming them, but the singer cannot help but remain in love with the person. The song is a reminder that love can be a double-edged sword and that sometimes even the things we love can hurt us.

This song is hitting me different cuz you'll never understand a situation until and unless you're living in it💔

This why no one really understands the problems other people face. They might listen, but inside they're thinking the person just has to do x, y, z and then they'll be better. Even though z,y,x doesn't exist the current place is all that is in existing to the person.
