Verse 1 Poured a little bourbon in that eggnog glass, Hoped it might take the edge off fast. Tree lights flicker on the same old pain, Another Christmas Eve sayin’ your name. Pre-Chorus And I’ve tried every trick in the book, But memories hit harder than they should. Chorus Whiskey in the eggnog ain’t enough To smooth out the edges of missin’ us. I can toast to the season, fake a little cheer, But it don’t change the fact you ain’t here. Yeah, I’ve been sippin’, but I ain’t that tough— Whiskey in the eggnog ain’t enough. Verse 2 Stockings hangin’ where your laughter lived, Your side of the bed still smells like “forgive.” I play our song just to feel less numb, But the chorus hits harder than the rum. Pre-Chorus Tried to drown it in a holiday glass, But this kind of heartache don’t melt that fast. Chorus Whiskey in the eggnog ain’t enough To smooth out the edges of missin’ us. I can toast to the season, fake a little cheer, But it don’t change the fact you ain’t here. Yeah, I’ve been sippin’, but I ain’t so tough— Whiskey in the eggnog ain’t enough. Bridge Maybe next Christmas I’ll let it go, But tonight I’m stuck in the fallen snow. Your shadow’s dancin’ in these lights, Turnin’ my heart into Silent Nights. Final Chorus Whiskey in the eggnog ain’t enough To smooth out the edges of missin’ us. I can wish and I can pour all night, But nothin’ warms the cold inside. Yeah, Christmas hits different when you lose love— Whiskey in the eggnog ain’t enough.
