Song Lyrics

Better As A Memory

I move on like a sinner`s prayer
letting 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
That`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 stay, but then again, I might
I struggle sometimes to find the words
Always sure until I doubt
Walk a line until blurs
Building walls too high to climb out
But I`m honest to a fault
That`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 wanna be that mistake
I`m just a dreamer, and nothing more
You should know it before it gets too late

`Cause goodbyes are like a roulette wheel
You never know where you`re gonna land
First you`re spinning, then you`re standing still
Left holding a losing hand
But one day you`re gonna find someone
And right away you`ll know it`s true
That all of your seeking`s done
It`s just a 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
