Hopper, Heard this song today and thought of you...while I know we are not charged to be the 'fixers', I also know that we would do absolutely anything in our power to 'fix' our MLC spouses. The message seems oddly backward but something about the lyrics really spoke to me.
Fix You by Coldplay
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
I personally prefer the Straight No Chaser version, but whatever floats your boat...being a former choir girl priss, I'm in love with all those a capella harmonies.
You know I have so much hope for you...I think I have hope for you because I don't have hope for me anymore.
Peace, GG
