THE GREATEST Billie Eilish Lyrics
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 (I’ve been)
Let you come and go
Whatever state I’m in, ah
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?
Mm
Oh-oh
Mm
Doing what’s right
Without a reward
And we don’t have to fight (Don’t have to fight)
When it’s not worth fighting for (Fighting for)
Mm
And you don’t wanna know (Don’t wanna know)
What I would’ve done (Done, mm)
Anything at all (Anything at all)
Worse than anyone
Mm, ooh
Man, am I the greatest? (Greatest)
My congratulations (Congratulations)
All my love and patience (All my)
All my admiration (Admiration)
All the times I waited (I waited)
For you to want me naked (Naked)
I made it all look painless
Man, am I the greatest?
The greatest
(Hey, hey, the greatest)
The greatest, ah-oh
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
I, I
I loved you and I still do
Just wanted passion from you
Just wanted what I gave you
I’ve waited and waited (Oh)
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 have been the greatest
Billie Eilish THE GREATEST Song Meaning
“THE GREATEST” by Billie Eilish is a profound exploration of love, effort, and the pain of unreciprocated affection. The song narrates the story of someone who invests deeply in a relationship, only to feel unappreciated and taken for granted. The repeated line “Man, am I the greatest?” reflects the protagonist’s internal struggle and self-doubt, questioning their worth and the value of their efforts after feeling undervalued by their partner.
The lyrics convey a mix of emotions—dedication, disappointment, and a yearning for recognition and passion that wasn’t reciprocated. This powerful ballad captures the complex dynamics of a one-sided relationship, highlighting the emotional turmoil of giving everything to someone who fails to appreciate it.
In “THE GREATEST,” Billie Eilish masterfully expresses the vulnerability and frustration that come with loving deeply and not receiving the same in return, making it a relatable anthem for anyone who has ever felt underappreciated in a relationship.
