Better As a Memory

I move on like a sinners 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 favourite 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 But 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 it blurs Build walls too high to climb out But I'm honest to a fault It's just who I am But 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 and nothing more You should know it before it gets too late 'Cause goodbyes are like a roulette wheel You never know where they'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 was 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
