Letra The greatest bastard 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
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, mistaking
some force and some will fake it
i never meant to let you down?
some fret it, forgetting
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've 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 that I'm not here?
please don't let on that you don't love me, cause I know you do?
I know?

some make it, mistaking
some force and some will fake it
but i never meant to let you down?
some fret it, forgetting
some ruin and some regret it
but i never meant to let you down?
i never meant to let you down?
