The song is a mid-tempo ballad in which the narrator addresses a former lover with whom he has split up. He then lists a series of similes regarding himself (such as "built to fade like your favorite song", and "always sure until I doubt"), ultimately telling her that he is "better as a memory / than as [her] man".
