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 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 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

Hey 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 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

Lyrics
You know the funny thing about the day you realise who or what you are
Is that by the time it happens you’re prob’ly not that anymore
And the funny thing is logic states for things to break
They first must fall
And like any small or precious thing, you give nothing or you give all
I can’t give you any more than that
I don’t trust my clumsy feet not to make me fall flat
And the heart’s the only muscle tissue, little known fact
That don’t know how to heal itself if you cut it in half
So don’t cut it in half
We spend our days in endless cycles of lust to oxytocin
Never stopping to think about the space between us that we’ve chosen
Well I can give my mouth, my ear, but I can’t give you my hand
‘Cause though you’re oh so understanding you can never understand
I will hand you cellotape and superglue, and staples
And I’ll help you hold those pieces in place til you’re fit and able
I can never be a surgeon ’cause my stomach’s far from strong
But I hope my bedside sympathies suffice to help you moving on
I can’t give you any more than that
I don’t trust my clumsy feet not to make me fall flat
And the heart’s the only muscle tissue little known fact
That don’t know how to heal itself if you cut it in half
So don’t cut it in half
No don’t cut it in half
No don’t cut it in half
And I can’t give you anymore than that
