BROKEN DECORATION - Eric L. West

Key of B
Capo on 2nd, Upside Down Drop-D Capo on 4th (Key of G)
A tiny crash of painted glass, scattered pieces on the tile,
The father clears away the tears of his broken-hearted child.
The slightest slip and he lost his grip, before he blinked it hit the ground,
Now the clumsy hand holds tight to Dad, the place where hope is found.
It’s a broken decoration, a shattered little dream,
Not even the king’s horses could mend this tender grief.
And although the fatal moment can never be undone,
It’s somehow reassuring for the father to be picking up [comforting/lifting up] his
son.
A marriage vow that’s broken now, along with every heart,
No one to blame since both proclaimed, "’til death do us part".
But who is there to show they care about the hurt deep inside.
There’s only One who didn’t run, and still calls both His bride. (It’s like

Chorus
A thin, fragile creature, with a delicate shell,
Covering a space, longing to be filled.
Broken, but not crushed, and emptied of my dreams,
Replaced by a vision of what I’ve yet to be. (I am a...)
Chorus
