Better As a Memory

I move on like a sinner's prayer

I Let it go like a levee breaks

Walk away as if I don't care

Learn to shoulder my mistakes.



I'm Built to fade like your favorite song

Getting reckless when there's no need.

Laugh as your stories ramble on

Break my heart, but it won't bleed

My only friends are pirates, it's just who I am

I'm better as a memory, than as your man.



Never sure when the truth won't do

I'm pretty good on a lonely night

I move on the way a storm blows through

I never stayed, but then again I might.



I struggle sometimes to find the words

I'm always sure until I doubt

I walk a line until it blurs

Built walls too high to climb out.

But I'm honest to a fault, it's just who I am

I'm better as a memory than as your man.



I see you leaning, you're bound to fall

I don't want to be that mistake

I'm just a dreamer, nothing more

You should know it before it gets to late.



'Cause goodbyes are like a roulette wheel

You never know where they're going to land

First your spinning, then you're standing still

Left holding a losing hand.



One day you're going to find someone

And right away you'll know it's true

That all of your seeking is done

Was just part of the passing through.

Right there in that moment, you'll finally understand

That I was better as a memory than as your man.



Better as a memory than as your man...
