Damien Rice - The Greatest Bastard

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
Or 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 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 end
Some make it, mistake it
Some force and some will fake it
I never meant to let you down
Some ret it, forget it
Some ruin and some regret it
I never meant to let you down
We learned to wag and tuck our tails
We learned to win and then to fail, didn't we
We learned 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
But I never meant to let you down
Some fret it, forget it
Some ruin and some regret it
But I never meant to let you down
I never meant to let you
I never meant to let you down
I never meant
