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

When 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

I will try to fix you

It's only that clear to a heroin addict while under the influence. For normal people, it's not about heroin.

i thought it was about how he would try to protect and comfort his daughter (apple). in particular, i thought the line "i promise i'll never learn from your mistakes" spoke to his aspiration to separate his child's essence from her deeds. but i may be naive.

Here's what the song actually means:

Coldplay singer Chris Martin married Paltrow's daughter, Gwyneth, in 2003. The 2005 Coldplay album X&Y carried a dedication to Bruce Paltrow. According to Blythe Danner, the famous Coldplay song "Fix You" was written for Gwyneth, as Martin wanted to "fix her" after the death of her father.[10]

She's Gwyneth Paltrow's mother and also an actress and Martin's mother in law for 13 years.

I'm sure 'Queensbridge Wilbur TP' knows more about Blythe's son in law than herself.

Yeah im sure Gwyneth paltrow's mom has no conscious or subconscious motivation to imagine a chart topping hit song is about her daughter's dad

because a broken person can never be repaired, they just go on being broken, and at best, u take them as they r, no fix involved

Maybe he meant 'comfort you' but the word did not work? If he really wrote it for his wife, she was not going to be broken forever.
