sometimes you can't make it on your own(lyrics)-u2

[icarosilva16]

This song leave me breathless,it seems me a so true story,none can write something like that if he has not lived something similar to...wonderful!!

[lexicheers956]

my dad used to sing this to me as a lullaby. hes in afghanistan now. i pray to god he comes back.

[hamburgueesa]

what a beautiful song (L)

[yankman22]

This song is absolutely beautiful

[chrishot10]

"Best you can do is to fake it"... what does he mean by that?

[yankman22]

@chrishot10 He means you can't always show that you care and put your best effort forward so sometimes you have to pretend to care

[chrishot10]

@yankman22 Thanks! :)



[fabcorr]

@chrishot10 I think he means that as much as you want to fight, sometimes it's a losing battle, so all you can do is "put on a brave face".

[dariank77]

Love the chorus!

[DMNKOTBINXSU2]

When he said about his father "we're the same soul" he is right, even though my dad passed away in 96 we are the same soul and i will meet him again one day Love you Dad!

[xxleandraxx1]

My dad is 1 year sober today! I neva had a sober dad feelz weird but good. this is our song. it took 17 years to have a sober real dad. I love you, my hero. We fought all the time you and I. But I do see you in me all the time.

[Naduah18]

I contracted Hep C when I was a cop and came in contact with an inmate that was infected. Because I didn't know I had it I'm now in the final stage of liver disease, I've been on my own since I was 16 and never asked anyone for anything, but luckily my sister reached out to me and now I'm living with her . We have had many conflicts over the years..this song is true..sometimes you can't make it on your own. She picks me up on the days I feel lilke giving up Luv u Shannon

[shannonertle]

A house doesn't make a home.......

[neehaaw]

I love that little guitar riff behind, so beautiful.

[KatrinaDiNozzo]

WHY!?! Why did youtube put a chipmunk advert on THIS song!!:O

That happen to anyone else?

[xoxfantasmaxox]

When music touch your soul, that's because that music is good.

This is more than good

[larwhelan]

Sometimes you can't make it, best you can do is to fake it! Bono is the greatest poet of our time!

[RockandRoll9722]

this must be such a hard song to sing for anyone who has lost a loved one

[wbc110174]

i left home over 10 years ago dont stay away i miss it so much i cant go back

[clockwise3559]

its "she said that" rather then "this is it"

[LeahS695]

this song makes me cry

especially the line, "its you when i look in the mirror."

i never fully appreciated u2 till now, but their lyrics are soo true

im ashamed to call myself irish when i've ignored this band :']

[saysRay]

I just left home for england by myself and i miss my family alot...

well thank god for music :)

[wbc110174]

@saysRay i left home over 10 years ago dont stay away i miss it so much i cant go back



[aniolku25]

Ouch! My sincerest condolences, attavyros. Hang in there and do your parents proud. Take comfort in music and know that there are those that can and will help :)

[springflower22]

mum..dad..I LOVE YOU...and thanks for being always there when i cannot make it on my own..

[bab3d1zz]

This is a really good song... I love.

I'm going through a hard time... and it seems that everyone I trust are running away.

Though I try to say how I feel seems like no one listens to me

It's really hard... Plus : I'm almost loosing my cousin which has cancer so its really really hard and friend is being a really asshole with me

So I say this to everyone : Sometimes you can't make it on your own and I can't make it on my own too

Cheers

Great video

Kiss

[SasukeGreivon]

@bab3d1zz

I wish the best for your cousin :/

[stritzo94]

GREECE LOVES U2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[TheccalniDitorec]

I've been listening to this song at least once every month since 6th grade. It's Bono's voice extending its hand into your heart and pulling you up off your feet, and brushing off the dust. I love this song, in every sense of the word 'love'.

[shanie119]

There are many of us kids living in Bono's world, good song!

[straden]

EsTa CaNCioN es lo MAxIMo !!

[10thStreetBlvd]

didn't bono write this song for his dad? :'(

[paleyr]

you are the reason when i sing.. love this line

[byron123fuyu]

"A house doesn't make a home"...........so true.

[charloulouloulou]

sometimes....

this song to all guys i missed

thanks*



[MsPumpkin1991]

its the best song ever sad but i love it

reminds me of the days when me and my dad used 2 go out singing it in the car xx love you daddy

[jenizaro3322]

i really love the part where bono says "and it's you when i look in the mirror". i think that everyone can find what he or she shares wiht his father or mother. in my case, i find so many similitudes between my fahter and i. mohter natures says it's called genes. can we say to a person we love how much we love them before she or he parts to the next world???

[gdillon14]

I wish mom could be here and is hard to accept that she is gone forever. The world is lonely without her. One day we will meet again.

[osker450]

@gdillon14 played this at me mums funeral

[naxatra87]

A touching one...

[steardoll]

" and it's you when i look in the morrior" ~<3

[MySoundGarden]

This could've been written about my father and I...I still have tears on my face...he really is "the reason the opera" is in me....

[master20290]

copy writer!

[1joeri9from9holland1]

@master20290  why??

[ste0825]

[gypsyebay]

[gypsyebay]

and also tell someone. befor its to late.

[paolenzo]

these are all the words i wish i had said to my brother before he passed..................

[10brownblair]

Ask your friend to get some help from his Doctor NOW. In the UK we have an organisation called 'The Samaritans' they would supply good confidential advice. Tel 0845 909090

[AlinalinB]

you are the reason i sing.

AMAZING.

[4A5R6T]

@Snowpaw16 Call dyfus its the best thing how old is he/she??

[Sc0ttishB0y]

its (she says that) not (this is it)

[STRAIDER101]

Well... I was lonely for a long time. Did everything myself. Literaly went trough hell. And i really didn't mind being myself. But then.. I recently lost something i desired so badly, and now I am alone again. Now I feel the big difference.

[GIA13615093]

@STRAIDER101 I think I know how you feel. Can you feel me too?

[STRAIDER101]

@GIA13615093

I can. I hope you will make it trough! It is hard, but... you will do it!Do not look in the past... as you say in latin - Carpe Diem!

[20future10]

You are the reason i sing... yes.

I love to sing when i'm alone... but the truth is I CAN'T. Fortunately it doesn't disturb me :)))

Otherwise, to be alone is not a bad thing... it depends on the situation.

[1dragonleader]

ahso iss das heheh KRALL ;O)

thx andhey5*****

without much words....lol fucking great song.

u2 me2 all2 --->we are one ;O)

i mean to let you know.....

love is the best massage ...

(Klaus from germany land )

[MissSmarty]

My most fav song from Bono <3

[Rose8Heart]

this song means a lot to me. im about to start treatment for an eating disorder and im so scared but ive realised its the right thing to do because i cant make it on my own. this beautiful song taught me to open my eyes and seek help before its too late

[AlohaAlohaDK]

@Rose8Heart

Good for you! And I really mean it.. I know at least a couple of girls with eating disorders, and if they only somehow came to realize that they CAN'T make it on their own, their situations might have been much better today.

[chewiezoe]

@Rose8Heart Good luck with that.

[pinballwizard8394]

i really really love the chorus when he says "and its you when i look in the mirror, and its you when i don't pick up the phone" i love that part :]

[S0NiCCCCC]

@pinballwizard8394 word!...thats the best part of the song imo

[MrGb4ever]

@pinballwizard8394 You took the words right out of my mouth.

[extreme67]

U2 wrote "Miami"

[MedicAlv1]

Pixievonglitz and attavyros, I'm very sad about your father / parents. Hope you're well, you're having a great time and first of all health! Live your lives without sadness my friends! Courage and optimistic mood!

[attavyros]

I've suddenly lost both of my parents,mum and dad, in a period of five months... Now, after three years I can' t stop thinking of them... There isn't a single day that goes without missing them... So Sad feelings well expressed by Bono... !!!

[MsClearful]

@attavyros

[jav1kid]

[Cha0sPr0ductions]

@attavyros tough times man but dont be like a rock and hide from it all you'll get over it eventually. It will still hurt you though alot

[gaguy1967]

[wareham12]

The chorus is simply amazing

[pixievonglitz]

i know the feeling, my father died when i was 16, im getting towards 23 now and theres not a single day that goes past where i dont think of him and my word crumbles all over again

[mrsbakr1]

[kiereemon]

He wrote it for his father after he passed away.

[melovedeflep]

[robwfd]

this is one of my favorite songs...it makes me cry sometimes when i listen to it...

[dollywasher]

[xmariab]

i allways cry when i hear it, because it remeinds me of my mother who never really took care of me.

[gpmullins]

this song always makes my boyfriend cry. It reminds him of his dad, too.

[lilkirstyireland]

this song is sooo sad near made me cry

[ophelimity]

when i thought about him and his dad when i watched this i broke into tears.

[noonoonumpty]

U2 have been a constant in my life for the last 30 years, always there, never failing me and on 25th July I will eventually realise my dream of seeing them live in Dublin, seen them plenty of times in other places but never been able to get tickets for Dublin until now roll on Croke Park

[babycourty]

i just luv this song!!!!

[TheLittlePinkPanter]

[XxIsmaelxX4510]

[Supremehydra]

[batchthetank]

i love u2 and the true reason u2 wrote this song is because his dad was dieing and iddnt always get on with him so hes apolagizing for all the bad tiems and showing how much he loves him ...... not long after this song bonos dad died

[barcaboylee1]

u2 really have some gems, this is one of them

[sanim9999]

u2 beauty

[Trunkspowsword]

Awesome song! The lyrics and music are just magnificent!!

Im sure that even U2 haters will love this song

[TomKaulitzKatze]

flat dull songs?? interesting. their songs make me happy and sad, shiver and cry - no matter how many times i have listened to them. mediocre singer?? Bono's voice is unique and beautiful, he can give you all the emotions he just wants to and once you hear him, you will always recognise him. monotonous music?? with Edge?? the best guitarrist in the world?? well, yesterday i was sitting in McDonalds, watching this video and i cried. yes, in front of a dozen people. it is a beautiful song. respect

[Trunkspowsword]

you are right... every U2 song is full of emotion. This song and the song White as Snow (from their latest album) actually made me cry...

[makeuprocks247]

i love this song it explains everything u could imagine x : )
