Better As a Memory lyrics

I move on like a sinners prayer
I Let it go like a levee breaks
Walk away as if I dont care
Learn to shoulder my mistakes.

Im Built to fade like your favorite song
Getting reckless when theres no need.
Laugh as your stories ramble on
Break my heart, but it wont bleed
My only friends are pirates, its just who I am
Im better as a memory, than as your man.

Never sure when the truth wont do
Im pretty good on a lonely night
I move on the way a storm blows through
I never stayed, but then again I might.

I struggle sometimes to find the words
Im always sure until I doubt
I walk a line until it blurs
Built walls too high to climb out.
But Im honest to a fault, its just who I am
Im better as a memory than as your man.

I see you leaning, youre bound to fall
I dont want to be that mistake
Im just a dreamer, nothing more
You should know it before it gets to late.

'Cause goodbyes are like a roulette wheel
You never know where theyre going to land
First your spinning, then youre standing still
Left holding a losing hand.

One day youre going to find someone
And right away youll know its true
That all of your seeking is done
Was just part of the passing through.
Right there in that moment, youll finally understand
That I was better as a memory than as your man.

Better as a memory than as your man...
