中文歌词: 你以为你很刚强，你总是告诉我和所有的人，你已足够坚强。你没必要奋战到底，也不必总是追求完美，请让我为你分担，就在今夜。你听我说啊，我一定要让你明白，你不必独自承担一切。每当我看到镜中的自己，就像看到了你，每当我……
本网小评: U2歌曲的一大魅力是它无可释然的多重内涵。这首曲子，您可以理解为父子之情，也可以理解为恋人之间的相互倾诉，甚或是同性之间的一段情感纠葛。但这都不影响歌曲真正的主旨所在：“不要独自承担一切”，用一句北方话来说：“您老别啥都一个人扛着”。听这首吉他摇滚大作的时候，不知您能否想到……
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
