I was slow dancing with a green-eyed devil
He whispered "Girl, you're somethin' special"
Had a wicked shine I should've seen right through
Walked the line til he took a swerve
With his crooked smile and his pretty words
Left me alone with nothin' but the ugly truth
He bruised me bad, yeah, cut me deep
I fell too fast from that lover's leap
Thought I might feel like that forever
But he didn't break my heart for good
He only broke my heart for better
Then a real life angel asked for my number
In a matter of time I discovered there's still a few good guys left in this town
Momma says he's a keeper
That boy's makin' me a believer
He's nothin' like the one that let me down
He bruised me bad, yeah, cut me deep
I fell too fast from that lover's leap
Thought I might feel like that forever
But he didn't break my heart for good
He only broke my heart for better
For the better
Couldn't let that all get to me
Was a long way round meant to be
That turned out right thanks to Mr. Wrong
He bruised me bad, yeah, cut me deep
I fell too fast from that lover's leap
Thought I might feel like that forever
But he didn't break my heart for good
He only broke my heart for better
For the better
