Paraphrase: 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. You give your all, but you fail. You receive unnecessary things, but not what’s important. You’re so exhausted, but wide awake Everything is backwards.
And you keep crying You’ve lost something Forever When you get heartbroken and it seems for nothing Is there anything else that could go wrong? 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?
Hope will comfort you And revive your soul And I will be there to help you Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I wil try to fix you
