Song lyrics

Send "Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own" ringtones to your cell

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

63 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Yes its a beautiful song and the video is great, seguing his voice with the polished version at the beginning.. and he didn't really dedicate it to his dad per se, it was sort of ABOUT his dad for the entire thing.. the video bit being in an opera house was great...

35 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal It may be different from their other songs on the album, but ... you know what they say: Unity through diversity. It's just plain perfect. Makes you wanna when you hear it, just because you didn't do it sooner. to U2

2,356 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal meh its alright...i'm sure it'll get played to death. Sounds like typical U2 off this CD...nothing special. It reminds me of one of their older songs.
