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 watch 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

Hah! It's interesting to look at songs that way; I had the same experience when I was in recovery for my own ED. This song I really felt a connection with:

It's called 'Song for Holly' by Esthero, it was actually on the 'Go' soundtrack (anyone remember that movie? vintage katie holmes!):

I can make you want me
I can make you think you need me too...
I can reassure you that all your lies you tell yourself are true...

And if you wont let me go
Im just harder to hold, no
Ill never let you gain control, no, no...

Im not myself lately
Im not even sure I know me
But Im worth more than my name
And all the lies I tell myself are true...

You can try but its never enough with you behind me
Because when push comes to shove, I fall
And its my turn to handle myself now

And if you wont let me go
Im just harder to hold, no
Ill never let you gain control... and you can say you want me...

And if you wont let me go
Im just harder to hold, no
Ill never let you gain control, no, no...

i don't have an ED, but relating songs to everyday life is easy to do... that's what songs are for (besides entertainment). 

and i LOVE the movie go!  "none of that crunchy herbal, rave ****"
