Sometimes you can't make it on your own
Lyric
Sometimes you can't make it on your own By
U2
Tough, you think you've got the stuff You're telling me and
anyone You're hard enough
You don't have to put up a fight You don't have to always be right Let
me take some of the punches For you tonight
Listen to me now I need to let you know You don't have to go it alone
And it's you when I look in the mirror And it's you when I don't pick up
the phone Sometimes you can't make it on your own
We fight all the time You and I… that's alright We're the same
soul I don't need… I don't need to hear you say That if we weren't so
alike You'd like me a whole lot more
Listen to me now I need to let you know You don't have to go it
alone
And it's you when I look in the mirror And it's you when I don't pick up
the phone Sometimes you can't make it on your own
I know that we don't talk I'm sick of it all Can - you - hear - me -
when - I - Sing, you're the reason I sing You're the reason why the opera
is in me…
Where are we now? I've got to let you know A house still doesn't make a
home Don't leave me here alone...
And it's you when I look in the mirror And it's you that makes it hard to
let go Sometimes you can't make it on your own Sometimes you can't make
it The best you can do is to fake it Sometimes you can't make it on your
own
