Better as a Memory...

Yeah, I guess I should have mentioned this before. The poem inspired by this song should be secondary to the lyric change. The contest is about the lyric change. So please put one in with your poem. Thanks.

Okay, there's this song by Kenny Chesney that I am totally in love with. It's called Better as a Memory. It totally describes me, except that it's about a guy. So basically, I want you to change the chorus so that it isn't about a guy anymore. I know. It's a little lame. If you get inspired, write a poem about the song too. But the chorus change is the important bit. So here are the lyrics.

I move on like a sinner's prayer
I let go like a levee breaks
Walk away as if I don't care
I've learned to shoulder my mistakes

I'm 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
It's just who I am
But 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
Built walls too high to climb out

But I'm honest to a fault
It's just who I am
And I'm better as a memroy
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
Nothin' more
You should know it before it gets too late

Cuz goodbyes are like a roulette
You never know where they're gonna land
First you're spinnin' then you're standin' still
Left holdin' a losin' hand

But one day you're gonna find someone
And right away you'll know it's true
That all of your sinkin's done
Was just a part of the passin' through

And right there in that moment
You'll finally understand
That I was better as a memory
Than as your man

So yeah...I don't know, do what you can with it.
