Kenny Chesney - Better As a Memory lyrics

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 do

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 wanna 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 seek is 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 than as your man

Better as a memory than as your man
