Thinking of you, my boy

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

  1. I listened to this song awhile ago and it really resonated with me. Man I bawled my eyes out and sang.

  2. Listen to this song on my daily walks and on most days end up crying to it. Was just at a party for a neighbor and all I kept looking at was another woman at the party with her son that is almost one. Life feels so unfair at the moment.

  3. This has always been my favorite Coldplay tune, well before my losses. I cry every time I hear it without fail, and it sends chills down my spine. Not only is it beautiful lyrically but also musically. I love the "atmosphere" of so many of their songs. <3

  4. A beautiful, beautiful tune. Incredible how music has the ability to get to you like that. Years ago, my mum attempted suicide twice; quite possibly the lowest point in my life - my dad had just left and I was an only child. I have never felt so alone. 17 years later, I still cannot listen to REM's "Everybody hurts" without remembering. and crying sometimes too. And yet its one of the most played tunes on my ipod. Wierd? maybe. but it helps me. Remember you are not alone. Hugs to you. xx
