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
This is the very first time I'm posting on the website.
As everyone else..this song means a helluva lot to me..It's bloody too deep. And it's moving. I just got evicted out of my house a couple months back..still not gotten out of it. The feeling that prevailed when I saw people throw pots and pans out was terrible..and i will never forget it. And everytime I think of it..I get emotional.
This song is so clear..To me it means..that after everything that happened, my closest family and best friends will always be there for me, waiting for me to be all happy again.. it's so beautiful..
and sometimes he sits up straight in the middle of the night gasping open-mouthed and trembling, with the covers clenched in his fists and wide eyes unseeing, blinded by bloody memories
and sometimes tears run silently down his sleeping cheeks and he speaks,
short clear words that mean nothing to her, usually, though once he cried "mother" and she wept with him till morning
and sometimes she swears she can hear some broken part of him rattling around in his chest as she pillows her head there,
like a piece knocked free and lost somewhere inside him (she wishes she could open him up and take it out, clean it and bolt it snugly back in place with a new coat of paint for his poor chipped heart while she was at it)
and sometimes he wakes up screaming, struggling away from her arms as she tries to hold him close when all he can see is a door slowly opening with all the universe behind it, waiting to fall on him like the tide
and once he struck out at her before he was awake, screamed "give him back" and slammed the back of his hand across her nose (it bruised later,
and he couldn't look at her, and the shame in his eyes at hurting her was like a tiny vicious flame burning inside)
and he is so broken, oh god, how did she let him get so broken?
but no, that's an Ed thing to say. One of them has to know how to decline the irrational blame.
and she sands down the broken edges on which he cuts himself even now,
slowly, with quiet words and stern patience and kisses and time, and the warm steady rise and fall of her breath as she lies next to him, tangled in sheets he's kicked off and sweated through in his labyrinth of a thousand nightmares.
someday she'll lead him out of this hall of sick reflections inside his head. she'll trace a map along the lines of his face with her fingertips and break every damn mirror in there with a kiss truly meant, and then perhaps they'll both be free.
she's always had a knack for fixing things, and how many thousand times harder can this be?
this song means a lot to me... it reminds me of all that's been lost and all there is left to lose. it tells me that even in my darkest hours, i have friends, family, and God to fix me, and that i might be needed to do the same for someone else. it particularly makes me think of someone in my life who is like a brother to me, but i'm afraid he is leaving my life just as unexpectedly as he entered it, basically disappearing into the rest of the world. coldplay never fails to speak to me.
Last week i was invited by a very special person to Coldlpayīs concert in San Diego. I didnīt was too much deep in the group, now i havenīīt stop reading itīs lyrics and repeating their songs in my head, in particular, The Scientist, Fix you and The hardest Part. This trilogy really has become the meaning of my relation with this very special person. I feel very sorry for being the dark side of ths story but by now i have got a lot of light in my mind and i can tell her that we will fix this, she will have a new start and she is by far, the worthiest person that i have ever met, event though at the end we donīt become a couple, she is the BEST person that has been part of my life, thankyou for showing me the meaning of LOVE.
