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
