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 fret 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… |
