Last Christmas
Ashley Tisdale (Holiday) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby, do you recognize me?
Well it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me
Happy Christmas

I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I love you", I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Special
Yea yea

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you, and your soul of ice
I thought you were someone to rely on
Me, I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

A friend to discover with a fire in her heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Now I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special





I'll give it to someone special

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Last Christmas" by Ashley Tisdale (Holiday) talks about someone who gave their heart to their partner last Christmas, but unfortunately, the very next day, their partner gave it away. This year, to avoid feeling hurt again, they will give their heart to someone special who deserves it. In the second verse, the person expresses their hesitancy about giving their heart away after being hurt before. They have managed to keep their distance from the previous partner, but they still catch their eye. The person wonders if their previous partner recognizes them after a year, as they have moved on and found someone special to love instead.


The chorus of the song repeats the same lyrics that the person gave their heart to their partner last Christmas, but this year they will give it to someone else who is special. The lyrics express their pain and sadness that comes from being with someone who did not respect their love, and betrayal can be a terrible experience. However, the person seems to have learned from their experience and is moving on to something better.
