Verse 1
Snowflakes twirl like they’re dancing just for me,
Neighbors smile wide, stringing lights on every tree.
I laugh along, say it’s merry as can be—
But the truth keeps whispering where no one else can see.

Chorus
So jingle all the way, I’m fine, I swear,
Ring those silver bells, pretend I don’t care.
I’ll sing a little louder so the hurt won’t show—
Merry Christmas to the world, though I’m missing you so.

Verse 2
Hot cocoa steams as I toast to “new beginnings,”
Friends say I shine with all this holiday spirit spinning.
I twirl the ribbon tight around the gifts I’m giving,
But my heart’s still wrapped in the life we once were living.

Chorus
So jingle all the way, I’m fine, I swear,
Ring those silver bells, pretend I don’t care.
I’ll sing a little louder so the hurt won’t show—
Merry Christmas to the world, though I’m missing you so.

Bridge
Maybe next December I won’t flinch at mistletoe,
Maybe time will soften all the places where you go.
But tonight I’ll wear a smile like sparkling winter snow—
Fragile, bright, and breaking underneath the glow.

Final Chorus
So jingle all the way, I’m fine, I swear,
Ring those silver bells, pretend I don’t care.
I’ll hold the note forever just to hide the low—
Merry Christmas, love, wherever you go.
