Lyrics

[00:-2.00] Kenny Chesney - Better As A Memory
[00:-1.00]
[00:00.00]
[00:26.50] I move on like a sinners prayer
[00:29.77] I let go like a levee breaks
[00:33.03] Walk away as if I don't care
[00:36.42] Learn to shoulder my mistakes
[00:39.79] I'm built to fade like your favorite song
[00:43.20] Gettin' reckless when there's no need
[00:46.45] Laugh as your stories ramble on
[00:50.02] Break my heart, but it won't bleed
[00:53.47] My only friends are pirates
[00:57.05] That's just who I am
[01:00.97] But I'm better as a memory than as your man
[01:06.30]
[01:10.44] Never sure when the truth won't do
[01:13.78] I'm pretty good on a lonely night
[01:17.04] I move on the way a storm blows through
[01:20.49] And never stay, but then again, I might.
[01:23.77] I struggle sometimes to find the words
[01:27.24] Always sure until I doubt
[01:30.63] Walk a line until it blurs
[01:33.63] Buildin' walls too high to climb out
[01:37.13] But I'm honest to a fault
[01:40.93] That's just who I am
[01:45.03] I'm better as a memory than as your man
[01:50.56]
[01:53.00] I see you leaning, you're bound to fall
[01:59.37] I don't want to be that mistake
[02:06.60] I'm just a dreamer and nothing more
[02:12.93] You should know it before it gets too late
[02:16.53]
[02:18.01] Cause goodbyes are like a roulette wheel
[02:21.43] You never know where they're gonna land
[02:24.63] First you're spinning, then you're standing still
[02:28.07] Left holding a losing hand
[02:31.46] But one day you're gonna find someone
[02:34.85] And right away you'll know it's true
[02:38.18] That all of your seekin's done
[02:41.58] It's just a part of the passing through
[02:45.08] Right there in that moment
[02:47.83] You'll finally understand
[02:52.55] That I was better as a memory than as your man
[03:00.36] Better as a memory than as your man
[03:05.56]
