Verse 1 I pulled that old box down from the attic shelf, Didn’t think I’d be decorating by myself. The lights were tangled like the year we’ve had, But I figured maybe shining them might not feel so bad. Pre-Chorus Sometimes you start with what you’ve got, Even if the joy feels like a long-shot. Chorus Hanging lights on a broken heart, Trying to warm up this December dark. One small sparkle at a time, Hopin’ healing’s in the shine. Yeah, it ain’t perfect, but it’s a start — Hanging lights on a broken heart. Verse 2 I found that ornament you loved last year, Funny how a memory can bring a tear. But I hung it gently in its place, Felt a little peace wash across my face. Pre-Chorus Maybe Christmas shows you grace, Right when you feel out of place. Chorus Hanging lights on a broken heart, Trying to warm up this December dark. One small sparkle at a time, Hopin’ healing’s in the shine. Yeah, it ain’t perfect, but it’s a start — Hanging lights on a broken heart. Bridge And maybe by the time the snow has fallen, I’ll feel the pull of something callin’. A little hope, a little light — Enough to make it through the night. Final Chorus Hanging lights on a broken heart, Trying to warm up this December dark. I ain’t mended, but I’ve made a mark — A little glow to guide the spark. Yeah someday love won’t feel so far — ’Til then, I’ll hang these lights on a broken heart.
