[Coldplay ~ Fix you]


When you try your best but you don’t succeed

they really said no. again.

When you get what you want but not what you need

to be honest. i am happy with the letter.

not just okay. but relieved. ecstatic.

free.

When you feel so tired but you can’t sleep

they were ass holes and i seldom felt good about myself there.

Stuck in reverse

and yet, i gave them more than they deserved.

And the tears come streaming down your face

it feels weird to be comfortable, happy even at this juncture.

When you lose something you can’t replace

i spent yesterday afternoon laying on the deck

with a good book getting sun on my midriff.

When you love someone but it goes to waste

HM went shopping with me.

i needed the company.

and someone to tell me

how my ass looked

in a new pair of pants.

Could it be worse

Lights will guide you home

i'm going to see my touch stone in guatemala.

And ignite your bones

i've been invited to accompany a family to australia.

And I will try to fix you

my nieces are waiting for me to visit them in Troy.

all trips i wouldn't have made

if they had let me back in.

And high up above or down below

i may not have made all the best decisions.

When you’re too in love to let it go

but i did everything i knew to do

to keep it all together.

But if you never try you’ll never know

i had no idea it would have ended like this.

i was working so damn hard.

Just what you’re worth

maybe i'm learning how to let it all go.

Lights will guide you home

it makes me tired.

And ignite your bones

to think of all the shit i did

because i thought it was

what i was supposed to do.

And I will try to fix you

they couldn't convince me to try otherwise.

i couldn't hear them over the din

of my own madness.

Tears stream down your face

and yet they love me.

When you lose something you cannot replace

they love me enough to let me make these mistakes.

Tears stream down your face

and they love me enough to take me in

when i can't stand the sight of myself.

And i…

Tears stream down your face

i started running.

I promise you

because it was all i could think to do with myself.

I will learn from my mistakes

it's funny that i wouldn't think twice to do it

for anybody else

Tears stream down your face

but it's hard to believe anyone would do it

for me.

And i…



Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

i'm coming.
