I move on like a sinners prayer I let 'em 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 favorite song gettin' 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 than as your man.
I'm 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 I'm better as a memory than as your man
I see you leanin', 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're gonna land first you're spinning, then you're standing still left holding a losin' hand but one day you're gonna find someone right away, you'll know it's true that all of your seekings 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
