Here is the lyrics

"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 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
          
The first impression hearing this song? ohhhhhh it is very emotional and deep, i think it tell us about a relationship that is not going too well, struggling i can say, and hoping for a way to fix it (relationship). As far as i know, this song was inspired after the father of Chris Martin wife, Gwyneth Paltrow died, maybe this song is directed to her i think.

The first verse tell us about the frustation because he/she failed to fix the relationship, then he/she want to forget it but it is impossible because the relationship is very meaningful, so he/she frustatingly cried because he/she regret the mistake that cause the relationship messed up.

The second/fourth/sixth (reff) verse tell us about that he/she try to fix the relationship, and hoping that their beloved ones can forgive him/her.

The third verse tell us about the reason why he/she want to stick up with the relationship, and the only way to fix it is by trying, because he/she won't know the result before trying.

The fifth verse tell us about the frustation because he/she can't fix the relationship, and the only thing that he/she could do is by promise that he/she won't repeat the mistake again.

I conclude that this song is very incredible song, the voice, instrumentals, lyrics, and the moral value is all-packed. We could feel the struggle and frustation that the writer made in this songs, it is just a masterpiece, well done, Coldplay!!
