fix you


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

and dead dreams make you die every night
when you try everything and nothing seems right
when you bleed but can't make yourself fight

and you'd rather have what you never had
when all your mistakes make you feel so bad
when everything happy makes you feel sad

and you pray and pray but the phone doesn't ring
when you feel songs aren't for you to sing
when you are the butterfly without a wing

and time goes by every second, every day
when you stand there and let it pass away
when you reach out for someone who didn't stay

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

[lifted in parts from fix you - coldplay. the song, btw, was written by chris martin, the lead singer, for his wife gwyneth paltrow after the death of her father]

I have a faint feeling I have read this once before.

They dont feel like they're not a part of the original song.

Stanza #4 is my favourite.

Very beautiful.
