I move on like a sinner’s prayer
I Let it 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
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
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 stayed, but then again I might.

I struggle sometimes to find the words
I’m always sure until I doubt
I walk a line until it blurs
Built 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 want to be that mistake
I’m just a dreamer, nothing more
You should know it before it gets to late.

Because goodbyes are like a roulette wheel
You never know where they’re going to land
First your spinning, then you’re standing still
Left holding a losing hand.

One day you’re going to find someone
And right away you’ll know it’s true
That all of your seeking is done
Was just 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...
