I move on like a
sinners prayer
And lettin' go like a
levee breaks
Walk away as if
I don't care
Learn to shoulder
my mistakes
Or built to fade like your
favorite song
Get 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
But I'm better as a memory
than as your man
I'm never sure when the
truth won't do
And pretty good on a
lonely night
Move on the way
A storm blows through
And 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
That's just who I am
I'm better as a memory
than as your man
I see you leanin'
You're bound to fall
I don't wanna be that mistake
I'm just a dreamer
Nothin' 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 spinnin'
Then you're standing still
Left holdin' a losin' hand
But one day you're gonna
find someone
And right away you'll
know it's true
That all of your sinking's done
It's just a part of the
passin' 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
