Lyrics

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 We were good, when we were good 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 Ta-ra-ra, ta-ra-ra, ta-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra Ta-ra-ra-ra, ta-ra-ra-ra Ta-ra-ra-ra, ta-ra-ra-ra Ta-ra-ra-ra, ta-ra-ra-ra Ta-ra-ra-ra
