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

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

This is it
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?
Still 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


REASON:
At this point in time, I hadn't had a date with Joanna since March, and I was getting
pretty beat up about it.  When I heard this song, it just clicked, automatically making
the song of the month, as it was everything I was feeling at the time.  The day after
posting this as the song of the month, Joanna broke up with me, adding to the meaning of
this song.
