the greatest (Patreon)

My favorite track from the new Billie album. The entire album is amazing but this one hits/hurts, could have come straight from my mouth. Beautiful and powerful song.

I'm trying my best
To keep you satisfied
Let you get your rest
While I stayed up all night

And you don't wanna know
How alone I've been
Let you come and go
Whatever state I'm in

Man am I the greatest
My congratulations
All my love and patience
All my admiration
All the times I waited
For you to want me naked
Made it all look painless
Man am I the greatest

Doing what's right
Without a reward
And we don't have to fight
When it's not worth fighting for

And you don't wanna know
What I would've done
Anything at all
Worse than anyone

Man am I the greatest
My congratulations
All my love and patience
All my admiration
All the times I waited
For you to want me naked
I made it all look painless
Man am I the greatest

The greatest
The greatest

I loved you
And I still do
Just wanted passion from you
Just wanted what I gave you
I waited
And waited

Man am I the greatest
God I hate it
All my love and patience
Unappreciated
You said your heart was jaded
You couldn't even break it
I shouldn't have to say it
You could've been the greatest
