Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tough, you think you've got the stuff
You're tellin' 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
We fight all the time
You and I, that's all right, 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Say, say, say
[Bridge]
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
[Bridge]
We're here now
Still gotta let you know
A house does not make a home
Don't leave me here alone
[Chorus]
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
