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
And I will try to fix you
High up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
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
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
And I will try to fix you
High up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
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

IMO, you hit the nail on the head. The lines you listed are indeed simply --and profoundly-- a list if what might make one grieve. This song isn't bound by a specific scenario, and in that lies its depth and power. It allows the listener to identify with his or her own reality and experiences... A scenario as unique as the listener him/herself.
Long ago I read something beautifully profound: "The best definition of heartbreak is when a dream dies." The athlete who suffers a career ending injury. The son whose mother has passed away. The woman who is in the midst of a divorce. The business owner who closes shop one last time. All can prompt profound grief and sadness.
Those of us who care for and love family and friends who are suffering such sorrow are often seeking ways we can "fix" them. If only because we hate to see them hurt so much.
How are you now?
You're a good person and I hope you've found the love you deserve!
"Lights will guide you home" like taking you to heaven or something.
"And ignite your bones" - is it a relation to a crematorium or something?
I know that's quite a depressing understanding
It means that you will find the path to bring peace to your soul, that will bring life back to your body.....that will relight the fire inside of you
