Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
Friendship is an interesting thing
An important one too
When I was younger I thought I needed no one
I pushed everyone that I could away
I was so...afraid
I thought I was better off alone
That I could fight my battles all by myself
That no one could ever help me
Or understand me
Yet, I realize now that none on this is true
People need one another
I need other people
Many people I know have been going through hard times lately
Myself included
Loved ones have helped us all through it
My loved ones are what makes it okay
When I'm upset I know there are people I can call and talk to, cry to
I get encouraging comments, emails, the littlest thing
And I'm reminded that I'm not alone
I was talking to Gab on the phone for the first time tonight
I've known her what, three years now online?
It was kinda amazing in ways to hear her voice for the first time
Though we fight alot, we need each other in a way
And just as much as I depend on my friends, I like to believe they rely on me
I have often been the friend people confine in when upset
I leave my phone on so if someone needs to call during the night they can
I'm not very good at very much, but I like to think I'm a good friend
So when it comes to times of need, sometimes you aren't enough
Sometimes if you fight the battle alone, you're going to loose
It's okay to rely on other people I guess
The concept seems weird to me, but I suppose there's more truth to it then I know
The song I choose for today is my favorite off the new U2 cd, very touching, I almost cry every time I hear it
Fits the theme I'm thinking of too
Song of the Entry:
Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own by 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
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...
Where are we now?
I've 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
