Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tough, you think you've got the stuff
You're tellin' me and anyone
You're hard enough
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone
[Verse 7]
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, yea yea yeah
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
Where are we now?
Still I've got to let you know
A house still doesn't make a home
Don't leave me here alone
[Verse 10]
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
[Verse 11]
Sometimes you can't make it
Best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
