Fix You


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

And 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 on your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down on your face
And on your face I...

Tears stream down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down on your face
And on your face I...

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you




Maybe it was his sad past. Maybe it was the way he spoke of her. Or maybe the way he squeezed my hand when I told him not to ruin himself over her. Maybe it's how he convinces himself he's happy when I know he's lonely.

Whatever it was about him, he's got me wanting to heal him.

I don't think I'm head over heels in love with him. I'm still healing myself. But... Oh, he makes me want to believe in things again.

My faith may be terribly misplaced, I know. This may be one of the stupidest things I've ever done. But I don't care. I just want to get over this, to know for sure.

It feels like there's a gun held to my head right now. I'm sweating, waiting for it to click, because I know it will. I'm gonna get shot down.

But at least I'll know for sure. Then I can look forward to the future, with or without him.
