Better Than You - Terri Clark

At a table for two

With a romantic view

He said theres something

That you need to know

I dont usually date

So if i hesitate

It’s just that i’m taking it slow

He said, «Darling i dont want to hurt you,»

As he gently reached out for her hand

She laughed, she picked up her menu

And said mister you dont understand

I’ve been loved, I’ve been left

I’ve been wronged by the best

I’ve had hopes that were shattered in two

I’ve heard promises spoken

I’ve had dreams left so broken

There was no chance they’d ever come true

It ain’t easy to see

By looking at me

But theres no hell I haven’t walked thorugh

If youre worried thats fine

But this heart of mine’s

Been broken by better than you

When dinner was done

She said I had fun

As they walked to her door he smiled

He said, «It's only 10 could I come in?

Maybe we could just talk for awhile.»

She said, «Honey I know what youre after

And as much as i’d like you to stay

Nothing good ever lasted

When it gets started that way.»

I’ve been loved, I’ve been left

I’ve been wronged by the best

I’ve had hopes that were shattered in two

I’ve heard promises spoken

I’ve had dreams left so broken

There was no chance they’d ever come true

It ain’t easy to see

But take it from me

There’s no hell I haven’t walked through

And I won’t cross that line

'Cause this heart of mine’s

Been broken by better than you

No I won’t cross that line

'Cause this heart of mine’s

Been broken by better than you
