Présentation
Sometimes You Can’t Make It on Your Own est peut-être le morceau le plus chargé d’émotion jamais écrit par Bono. Difficile de rester de marbre devant le clip de Phil Joanou, version “Single Take”, où il chante a capella en marchant dans les rues de Dublin, la voix éraillée, et tout le poids du morceau sur ses épaules. Le titre nous arrache les larmes par son intensité et par le fait que Bono s’adresse directement à son père disparu, dans une démarche poignante qui nous parle à tous.

Paroles
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 I've 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
