Kenny Chesney - Better As A Memory

Kenny Chesney "Better As A Memory" - My favorite song by Kenny

"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 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 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 seeking's 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...

there is NO video for this song!! this is a mix of kenny's video's!!

A woman eventually comes along in every man's life whom he recognizes as just too good for him.

He sooner or later finds that he has fallen in love with her.

But he loves her too much to stay with her -- to subject her to his brokenness. She deserves a better man than him. So he just leaves.

This song sings this truth.

And no you can't change him, pretty kitties. He has to find out for himself.

amazing song.. he has a beautiful voice..

[Carolspencer100]

I think that Kenny is the sexiest singer I have heard in a long time. People need to let him be himself and be a human being that has a talent. Who cares what he does in his personal life? It is his business, not the public's. Keep doing what you do,Kenny!!!

@footballboy6 He said "I build a fade like your favorite song" A fade is how the volume of a song slowly declines at the end of the song until the end. So he is talking about no matter how much you love him it will slowly come to an end just like a afade in a song. I hope that makes sense

[butterhead16]

@Wikipunani Wow, that is so insightful. And so true. I have been trying to figure this out for years. Thank you for letting me see his perspective

[susanoliviatodd]

also my favorite Chesney song

[BlanklyPvP]

Man.... This really makes me think. I was with my girlfriend awhile then family issues sprung up... I broke it off with her because she deserved WAY more time the what I had to offer at them time... I just wish I didn't break up with her.. She was the most amazing girl I have ever seen. Miss you..

[maviki327]

No, yea he doesn't want her to fall in love with him cause he would end up hurting her. Does anyone listen to the words or do you guys just start making your own up.

[tkelly302]

THIS SONG IS ABOUT TRUE LOVE HE WANTS HER TO BE HAPPY EVEN IF ITS NOT WITH HIM

[ReSpecTheStaR2010]

@blb0405 Yeah...sounds like a delusional way or putting a positive spin on reality...just like "everything happens for a reason" or "karma will get him/her :)", etc. etc. Come back to reality and bring some common sense...there's plenty of room.

[maviki327]

I think some of you are missing the point the guy is trying to make in this song.
