Move on like a SINNER'S prayer
LETTIN' go like a levee brakes
Walk away as if I don’t care
Learn to shoulder my mistakes
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
It’s just who I am
I’m better as a memory
THEN as your man

Never sure when the truth won’t do
Pretty good on a lonely night
I Move on the way the storm blows through
Never stay but then again I might
I STRUGGLE sometimes to find the words
Always sure until I die
Walk a line until it blurs
BUILD walls TOO high to clime out
But I'M HONEST TO A FAULT
It’s just who I am
I'm better as a memory
THEN as you man

I see you leaning
You’re bound to fall
I don’t want to 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 are GONNA land
First you’re spinning then your standin' still
Left HOLDIN' A losing hand
One day your GONNA find someone
Right away YOU'LL know it’s true
That all of your seekin'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 THEN as your man
Better as a memory THEN as your man
