I am Better as a Memory
I move on like a sinners prayerAnd letting go like a levee breaksWalk away as if I don't careLearn to shoulder my mistakesOr built to fade like your favorite songGet reckless when there's no needLaugh as your stories ramble onBreak my heart, but it won't bleedMy only friends are piratesThat's just who I amBut I'm better as a memory than as your man
Never sure when the truth won't doAnd pretty good on a lonely nightOr move on the way a storm blows throughAnd never stay, but then again, I might.I struggle sometimes to find the wordsAlways sure until I doubtWalk a line until it blursBuild walls too high to climb outBut I'm honest to a faultThat's just who I amI'm better as a memory than as your man
I see you leaning, you're bound to fallI don't want to be that mistakeI'm just a dreamer and nothing moreYou should know it before it gets too late
Cause goodbyes are like a roulette wheelYou never know where they're gonna landFirst you're spinning, then you're standing stillLeft holding a losing handBut one day you're gonna find someoneAnd right away you'll know it's trueThat all of your seekings doneIt was just a part of the passing throughRight there in that moment you'll finally understandThat I was better as a memory than as your manBetter as a memory than as your man
