The Greatest Bastard Lyrics - My Favourite Faded Fantasy - Damien Rice

I made you laugh, I made you cry 

I made you open up your eyes 

Didn't I? 

I helped you open out 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? 

Well 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 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
