Lyrics
The Ornament
Vs1
Feel as broken as the ornanent
Hanging on my tree
A tiny glass angel
From a snowy Christmas eve
Accidently dropped it
Broke in two
The only thing left for me from you
I glued it back together
The best way that I could
Put her on my tree
Hoping all would be good
Outside my window
It began o snow
Made me remember
Christmas long ago
Vs2
Was walking to your house
Through 3 feet of snow
Nothing could stop me
Not even the cold
Love in my heart
Gift in my hand
What happens next
I'll never understand
Knocked on your door
You were not there
Your momma let me in
Had a message to share
My heart started aching
She was sad too
Gave me a present
Said it was from you
Vs3
I wished her Mery Christmas
As tears began to fall
You had found another girlfriend
News hit me like a wall
On my way home
Wanted to die
Love shouldn't hurt
Leave you broken inside
Chorus
Every year the angel
takes her place on my tree
For her and I are bonded with glue so to speak
We both have imperfections
Hanging by a thread
Another Christmas eve
And you're still in my head.
