Move on like a sinner's prayer
Let them go like a levee breaks
Walk away as if I don't care
Learn to shoulder my mistakes
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
That'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
Move on the way a storm blows through
Never stay but then again I might 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
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 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
One day you're gonna find someone right away
You'll know it's true that all of your seeking's done
It's 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
