Damien Rice - The Greatest Bastard Lyrics
I made you laugh, I made you cryI made you open up your eyesDidn't I?I helped you open out your wings,your legs, and many other thingsDidn't I?Am I the greatest bastard that you know?The only one who let you go?The one you hurt so much you cannot bear?Well we were good, when we were goodWhen we were not misunderstoodYou helped me love, you helped me liveYou helped me learn how to forgiveDidn't you?I wish that I could say the sameBut when you left, you left the blameDidn't you?Am I the greatest bastard that you met?The only one you can't forget?Am I the one your truth's been waiting for?Or am I just dreaming once again?Some dreams are better when they endSome make it, mistake itSome force and some will fake itI never meant to let you downSome fret it, forget itSome ruin and some regret itI never meant to let you downWe learn to wag and tuck our tailsWe learn to win and then to failDidn't we?We learn that lovers love to singAnd that losers love to clingDidn't we?Am I the greatest bastard that you know?When will we learn to let this go?We fought so much, we've broken all the charmBut letting go is not the sameAs pushing someone else awaySo please don't let onYou don't know mePlease don't let onI'm not herePlease don't let onYou don't love me'Cause I know you doI knowThat some make it, mistake itSome force and some will fake itI never meant to let you downSome fret it, forget itSome ruin and some regret itI never meant to let you downI never meant to let youI never meant to let you downI never meant
