“Fix You” – Coldplay

When you try your best but you don’t 1__________
When you get what you want but not what you need

Stuck in 2_________

When you lose something you can’t replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste

When you’re too in love to let it go
But if you never try you’ll never know
Just what you’re 8________

An Unlucky Day

One morning, I got up with the feeling that the day was going to be an unlucky one for me. How right it was! I found that it was already seven o’clock and I rushed into the bathroom to brush my teeth. In my hurry, I did not see a piece of soap lying on the floor. I stepped on it and slipped,almost breaking my back in the process. After brushing my teeth, I went into the dining room for my breakfast. I gulped down the coffee without realizing that is was very hot. It scalded my tongue. I spat it out and could not eat anything because my tongue hurt. I got dressed and rushed to the bus stop. Unfortunately for me,I just missed the bus. My heart sank and I knew that I would be late for school.

When I reached school, my name was taken down by the teacher for the pupils had already entered the classes. The teacher scolded me for being late. To my humiliation, I was made to stand outside the class.

I was so upset by the incidents that I could not study properly. But worse was to come.

After school, I was on my way homewhen something hard hit me on the head. Someone had thrown a bag of fish bones out of the window and it landed on me! I was boiling with rage but could do nothing. However, luckily for me,the missile only raised a small lump on my head. I managed to reach home safe and sound and did not dare to go ut again for the rest of the day.
