Last Christmas
Birgit Õigemeel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
This year
To save me from tears
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
(Merry 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.
Oh, oh, baby.
A crowded room,
Friends with tired eyes.
I'm hiding from you
And your soul of ice.
My god I thought you were someone to rely on.
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on.
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart.
A man under cover but you tore me apart, ooh-hoo.
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.
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart (I gave you my heart)
A man under cover but you tore him apart
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special.
Special...
Someone...
The song "Last Christmas" by Birgit Õigemeel is a melancholy reflection on a past relationship that has ended. The singer had given her heart to her former lover the year before, but he quickly moved on and gave it away. This year, to avoid the heartbreak of last Christmas, she will save her love for someone more deserving.
The lyrics express the pain of unrequited love and the difficulty of moving on from a past relationship. Despite the singer's best efforts to keep her distance, she still finds herself drawn to her former lover, hoping for another chance. However, she recognizes the truth of the situation and resolves to let go of the past and look for someone special who will appreciate her love.
Overall, the song is about the importance of valuing oneself and finding someone who will reciprocate one's love, rather than wasting it on someone who does not deserve it.
