"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

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 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

This song was sung by U2, written by Bono as dedication for his father which he himself never get along with nicely. This was first played by the band during the funeral of Bono's father. Originally 'Steinhegvanhuysenolegbangbangbang,' it evolved to 'Bonavox of O'Connell Street' after a hearing aid store in the centre of Dublin, before eventually being shortened to 'Bonavox,' 'Bono Vox' – cockeyed Latin for 'good voice' – and finally 'Bono.' Credit for this goes to his mate Guggi (real name Derek Rowan), a childhood friend.

Bono says: "My father worked in the post office by day and sang opera by night. We lived on the north side of Dublin in a place called Cedarwood Road. He had a lot of attitude. He gave some to me - and a voice. I wish I'd known him better."

THE GREATEST IRONY OF LOVE

THE GREATEST IRONY OF LOVE - Loving the right person at the wrong time Having the wrong person when the time is right and Finding out you love someone right after that person walks out of your life Most relationships tend to fail, but not because of the absence of love. Love is always present. It’s just that one was being loved too much, and the other was being loved too little Most often we fall in love with the person we think we love, but to only discover that for them, we are just for past times while the one who truly loves us, remains either a friend or a stranger. So here’s a piece of advice: Let go when you’re hurting too much Give up when love just isn’t enough and Move on when things are not like before
