Fix You
Zahid Ummar 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
Could it be worse?
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 show
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
ITears stream down your face
Promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face and ILights will guide you homeAnd ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
