Coldplay – Fix You Lyrics 13 years ago
i think you're all focusing too much on there being a scenario for this to fit. I think the song is simply about grief and coming to terms with loss, whether in a relationship, or the death of a loved one. I do however, think that "ignite your bones" is a reference to cremation. I get the feeling it was a death that inspired this song.

The lines:
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
When high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go

it almost sounds like a list to me? Of all the worst things that can happen to us. i think there's a subtler meaning behind this song... that all grief is the same, and we all go through it, you're not as alone as you feel.

rest in peace sushi, i hope you're happier now... i hope you know, i was with you to the end, and that i loved you very much ♥
