lyrics

We used to kiss
We used to hold hands
We never did make any plans
Day to day was the best that you could do
There wasn't much for me to save
The night you threw us away
And it would take time to get over you
These days my heart's better than broken
Not as good as new

I wanted more than you would give
Maybe you were afraid to live
With someone who loved you
We guard some common sense
I took the chance, dropped my defense
And I got too close to you
These days my heart's better than broken
Not as good as new

The time we shared was more than good
With just a few regrets
The one's that we're not proud of
I'm willing to forgive

Sometimes I wonder if we could go back
I guess it's just too late for that
There's not much left to hold on to
These days my heart's better than broken
Not as good as new

The Bottle Rockets Saint Louis, Missouri

When The Bottle Rockets hit the scene in the mid '90s, the world wasn't quite sure what to do with them.

That's How Rumors Get Started
by Margo Price

supported by 5 fans who also own “Better Than Broken”

Each year the same story: My wife (handmade pop music) and I (black metal maniac) go on holiday. We need some "soft" but honest music for long car drives. It is a tough week in advance to dive deeply into musical scrap to find some pearls like MARGO PRICE! She presents easy going country pop, smooth and with pleasant vocals, reminding me sometimes even at Stevie Nicks. The title track is one of my favourites, but also the other songs are catchy and performed with smooth energy, H.L.

An album that gets better with every listen. It was already in my top 10 of the year, but it just keeps pushing higher. Lydia Loveless is so damn underrated. William Boyle
