Fix You

These are the lyrics from "Fix You" from Coldplay. It's an amazing song.
It's about how you try and you can try to make this other person love you.
"when you get what you want but not what you need." I feel that I am there right now from Al Gore. I am getting what I want, but not what I need. What is it that I need? The need to feel important to someone.

"when you are too in love to let it go." Who has not been there? Who hasn't been so much in love with someone and the potential of that person and of your relationship that you keep trying? You keep trying way past the point where you should have let it go and begin to heal?

"and I will try to fix you." Again, who hasn't thought that they could fix some part of their lovers soul or who they are? That you think that your love will change that person and make him a better man.


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,

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
