These lyrics are those lyrics that when you read them they hit home and hit it really fast, or at least they did for me. This is dedicated to a girl who this is the truth about, for me. It is far better that I am gone than I hang around. Now I am not bad for her but I distract her from what is good. So its time I say "I'm better as a memory than as your man." If your reading this girl know that God has released me from the task he had set before me for you. I pray he will release you from me. Go with God and know he loves you more than any man ever could, but that does not mean a man cannot love you as Christ loved the Church. I hope he finds you. Keep you eyes open and trust his time not your own power. Love completely.
Better As A Memory by Kenny Chesney
i move on like a sinners prayer
let 'em 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
i'm 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 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, it's just who i am
i'm better as a memory than as your man
I see you leanin', 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 good-bye's 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 losin' hand
one day you're gonna find someone
right away, you'll know it's true
that all of your seeking is done
Its 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
