Better Than You
Terri Clark



At a table for two with a romantic view
He said, There's something that you need to know.
I don't usually date, so if I hesitate
It's just that I'm taking it slow
He said, Darlin' I don't wanna hurt you.
As he gently reached out for her hand
She laughted as she picked up her menu
And said,Mr., you don't understand.
CHORUS
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
Nothin' good ever lasted
When it gets started that way.
CHORUS
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, Ive 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
