"Fix You" lyrics

From afar you could love her
But you could never tell
Deep inside she was poison
With a beautiful shell

I was green, I was 17
She took advantage of that
She looked at me like a piece of meat
She's got her hooks in me now

Now
I'm lookin' for a way out

It's not as easy as it would seem
To get the girl off my back
She's in my body like a disease
Can you imagine that?

Now
I need something to cure me

Now that I'm older
I can see it all played out
Now that I'm wiser
It's all clear to me somehow
You just go take what you take
How many hearts will you break
Till you're through?
I don't cry, 'cause I'll try
To fix you

Goddamn it
I try

Now that I'm older
I can see it all played out
Now that I'm wiser
It's all clear to me somehow
You just go take what you take
How many hearts will you break
Till you're through?
I don't cry, 'cause I'll try
To fix you

Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
