U2 - Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own Lyrics

Tough,
You think you’ve got the stuff,
You're telling me and everyone
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 along.

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,
In 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,
Still got to let you know,
A house 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 when I don’t pick up the phone.
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.
