[Verse 1]

You still talk about him in your sleep

And I know that you think he's just some secret you keep

I came along right when he broke your heart

You gave most to me, but he still holds a couple parts


[Pre-Chorus]

I know that it would kill you if you knew that I knew

Let me help you let go of what you're holding on to


[Chorus]

I can be better than a memory

I can lay you down with both hands

Hold you tighter than a ghost can

Let me kiss all of that miss-him right out of your lips tonight

It's just you and me

Baby, let me be better than a memory


[Verse 2]

You never make me feel like this won't last

But I can't see the future when I'm wrеstlin' with your past

I know what's in your heart, but in your head

If he's still hеre between us, it's too crowded in this bed


[Pre-Chorus]

Words can't be unspoken, but wrongs can be made right

Just keep those blue eyes open when we're turning off the lights


[Chorus]

I can be better than a memory

I can lay you down with both hands

Hold you tighter than a ghost can

Let me kiss all of that miss-him right out of your lips tonight

It's just you and me

Baby, let me be better than a memory


[Bridge]

I'll always be a slow hand and a steady shoulder

If you need a little love to get you over


[Chorus]

I can be better than a memory

I can lay you down with both hands

Hold you tighter than a ghost can

Let me kiss all of that miss-him right out of your lips tonight

It's just you and me

Baby, let me be better than a memory
