The Greatest Bastard Lyrics

I made you laugh, I made you cry
I made you open up your eyes, didn't I?
I helped you open up your wings
Your legs, and many other things, didn'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
We were good when we were good
When we were not misunderstood

You helped me love, you helped me live
You helped me learn how to forgive, didn't you?
I wish that I could say the same
But when you left, you left the blame, didn't you?

Am I the greatest bastard that you've met
The only one you can't forget
Am I the one your truth's been waiting for
Am I just dreaming once again
Some dreams are better when they end

Some make it, mistake it
Some force and some will fake it
I never meant to let you down
Some fret it, forget it
Some ruin and some regret it
I never meant to let you down

We learn to wag and tuck our tails
We learn to win and then to fail, didn't we?
We learn that lovers love to sing
And that losers love to cling, didn'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 charm
But letting go is not the same
As pushing someone else away

So please don't let on
You don't know me
Please don't let on
I'm not here
Please don't let on
You don't love me
'Cause I know you do
I know

That some make it, mistake it
Some force and some will fake it
I never meant to let you down
Some fret it, forget it
Some ruin and some regret it
I never meant to let you down
I never meant to let you
I never meant to let you down
I never meant
