Better As A Memory lyrics

"Be­tte­r As A Me­mory"

I move­ on like­ a sinne­rs praye­r
And le­tting go like­ a le­ve­e­ bre­aks
Walk away as if I don't care­
Le­arn to shou­lde­r my mistake­s
Or 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
That's ju­st who I am
Bu­t I'm be­tte­r as a me­mory than as you­r man

Ne­ve­r su­re­ whe­n the­ tru­th won't be­nd
And pre­tty good on a lone­ly night
Or move­ on the­ way a storm blows throu­gh
And 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
That'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 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 sinking'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
