Better As a Memory

[Intro]
Deep down, you know
We're going under
Deep down, you know
I'd be better as a memory

[Verse 1]
Turn me loose because I'm fucked up
And only meant to be a deep cut
Didn't mean to drag you down with me
Guess you're meant to lose your crown with me
I burn the candle at both ends
I see the world through a cracked lens
Ain't no pieces left to pick up
Even the fire says it's given up

[Pre-Chorus]
Deep down, you know (Deep down, you know)
We're going under
Deep down, I know (Deep down, I know)
But still I wonder

[Chorus]
Why do we feel the need to scream?
When it brings us only pain
All the words we used to say don't
Don't mean a thing
When I keep you on the edge
Just push me from the ledge
'Cause deep down, you know (deep down, you know)
I'd be better as a memory
(Better as a memory)

[Verse 2]
I set a mood like a crime scene
I fall back to the same routine
I know this life will be the death of me
Can't look away, but it's hard to see

[Chorus]
Why do we feel the need to scream?
When it brings us only pain
All the words we used to say don't
Don't mean a thing
When I keep you on the edge
Just push me from the ledge
'Cause deep down, you know (deep down, you know)
I'd be better as a memory

[Bridge]
Turn me loose because I'm fucked up
And only meant to be a deep cut
Didn't mean to drag you down with me
Guess you're meant to lose your crown with me

[Chorus]
Why do we feel the need to scream?
When it brings us only pain
All the words we used to say don't
Don't mean a thing
When I keep you on the edge
Just push me from the ledge
'Cause deep down, you know (deep down, you know)
I'd be better as a memory
(Better as a memory)

[Outro]
Deep down, you know
We're going under
Deep down, I know
But still I wonder
Why I keep you on the edge
Just push me from the ledge
'Cause deep down, you know (deep down, you know)
I'd be better as a memory
