Better as a Memory

Move on like a SINNER'S prayerLETTIN' go like a levee brakesWalk away as if I don’t careLearn to shoulder my mistakesBuilt to fade like your favorite songGet reckless when there’s no needLaugh as your stories ramble onBreak my heart, but it won’t bleedMy only friends are piratesIt’s just who I amI’m better as a memoryTHEN as your manNever sure when the truth won’t doPretty good on a lonely nightI Move on the way the storm blows throughNever stay but then again I mightI STRUGGLE sometimes to find the wordsAlways sure until I dieWalk a line until it blursBUILD walls TOO high to clime outBut I'M HONEST TO A FAULTIt’s just who I amI'm better as a memoryTHEN as you manI see you leaningYou’re bound to fallI don’t want to be that mistakeI’m just a dreamerNothing moreYou should know it before it gets too late'CAUSE Goodbyes are like a ROULETTE wheelYou never know where they are GONNA landFirst you’re spinning then your standin' stillLeft HOLDIN' A losing handOne day your GONNA find someoneRight away YOU'LL know it’s trueThat all of your seekin's doneIt’s just a part of the passing throughRight there IN that momentYOU'LL finally understandTHAT I was better as a memory THEN as your manBetter as a memory THEN as your man
