Fix Me Now
Garbage · Garbage [1995]
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day
Bury me above the clouds
All the way from here
Take away the things I need
Take away my fear
Hide me in a hollow sound
Happy evermore
Everything I had to give
Gave out long before
Fix me now I wish you would, Fix me now
Bring me back to life, Fix me now
Kiss me blind somebody should, Fix me now
From hollow into light
Crashing silent broken down
Falling into night
Who gave up an who gave in
I'll go without a fight
Cut me down or cut me dead
Cut me in or out
Kiss me blind time after time
Take away my doubt
Fix me now I wish you would
Fix me now I wish you would, Fix me now
Bring me back to life Fix me now
Kiss me blind somebody should
Kiss me blind somebody should, Fix me now
From hollow into light
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day
Nowhere only down from here
Pick me off the floor
Take away the things I dream
One time one place one more
Fix me now I wish you would
Fix me now somebody should, Fix me now
Bring me back to life Fix me now
Kiss me blind somebody should
Fix me now somebody should, Fix me now
From hollow into
Fix me now I wish you would
Fix me now somebody should, Fix me now
Bring me back to life Fix me now
Kiss me blind somebody should
Fix me now somebody should, Fix me now
From hollow into light
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day
Catch me on a better day
Bury me above the clouds
All the way from here
Take away the things I need
Take away my fear
Hide me in a hollow sound
Happy evermore
Everything I had to give
Gave out long before
Fix me now I wish you would, Fix me now
Bring me back to life, Fix me now
Kiss me blind somebody should, Fix me now
From hollow into light
Crashing silent broken down
Falling into night
Who gave up an who gave in
I'll go without a fight
Cut me down or cut me dead
Cut me in or out
Kiss me blind time after time
Take away my doubt
Fix me now I wish you would
Fix me now I wish you would, Fix me now
Bring me back to life Fix me now
Kiss me blind somebody should
Kiss me blind somebody should, Fix me now
From hollow into light
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day
Nowhere only down from here
Pick me off the floor
Take away the things I dream
One time one place one more
Fix me now I wish you would
Fix me now somebody should, Fix me now
Bring me back to life Fix me now
Kiss me blind somebody should
Fix me now somebody should, Fix me now
From hollow into
Fix me now I wish you would
Fix me now somebody should, Fix me now
Bring me back to life Fix me now
Kiss me blind somebody should
Fix me now somebody should, Fix me now
From hollow into light
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day
Things don't have to be this way
Catch me on a better day
