Better Than You — текст песни (Terri Clark)

(Terri Clark/Dickey Lee)

At a table for two with a romantic view,
He said: There`s somethin` that you need to know.
I don`t usually date, so if I hesitate,
It`s that I`m takin` it slow.
He said: Darlin`, I don`t want to hurt you,
As he gently reached out for her hand.
She laughed as she picked up her menu,
And said: Mister, you don`t 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 there`s no hell I haven`t walked through.
If you`re worried, that`s 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 ten, could I come in?
Maybe we could just talk for a while.
She said: Honey, I know what you`re 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.
An` 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.
