Better As A Memory.....

i move on like a sinners prayer
let 'em go like a levee breakswalk 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
i'm 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 the 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 wanna be that mistake i'm just a dreamer,
nothing more you should know it before it gets too late
cause good-bye's 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 losin' hand
one day you're gonna find someone right away,
you'll know it's true that all of your seeking is done
Its 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
