Sometimes you can`t make it on your own -- 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 in 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  Well hey now, still gotta let ya 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 that makes it
hard to let go  Sometimes you can't make it on your own
Sometimes you can't make it  Best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can't make it on your own        (sing365)


This is a tribute to Bono's father Bob Hewson who died in 2001. Bono sang it for the first time at his father's funeral; it reflects on their tense relationship until just before his death, when Bono claims they became closer than ever before.     (songfacts)
