Last Christmas
Caramelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 (you gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
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 (you gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I′ll give it to someone special (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)
Oh
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, ooh, 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 (you gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (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!)
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart (I gave you mine)
A man under cover, but you tore him apart
Maybe next year, we'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special (special!)
So long!
The lyrics to Caramelle's "Last Christmas" tell the story of a person who gave their heart to someone they loved last Christmas, only to have it taken away the very next day. This year, in order to avoid being hurt again, they vow to give their heart to someone special. The song reflects the feelings of heartbreak and the desire to move on and find a new love.
The first verse sets the scene of a past Christmas where the singer gave their heart to someone, but that person quickly discarded it. The repetition of the phrase "you gave it away" emphasizes the abruptness and harshness of the act. However, despite the pain, the singer decides not to dwell on the past and instead focuses on finding someone special to give their heart to this year.
The second verse reflects the emotional aftermath of the previous Christmas. The singer mentions being "once bitten and twice shy," indicating a reluctance to open themselves up to potential hurt again. They try to keep their distance from the person who hurt them, but they still catch their eye. The question of "do you recognize me?" suggests the person may not fully grasp the impact their actions had on the singer. The singer admits they were a fool but acknowledges that they would be easily fooled again if the person were to offer affection.
Overall, the song captures the bittersweet emotions of heartbreak during the holiday season and the hope for a fresh start in love.
Line by Line Meaning
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
During the previous Christmas, I gave you my love and affection
But the very next day, you gave it away
However, you quickly discarded and disregarded my love
This year, to save me from tears
To avoid getting hurt and upset this year
I'll give it to someone special
I will give my love to someone who truly deserves and appreciates it
Once bitten and twice shy
I have been hurt in the past, so I am now cautious and hesitant
I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye
I try to stay away from you, but I still find myself attracted to you
Tell me, baby, do you recognize me?
I wonder if you even remember who I am
Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me
Since it has been a year since we were together, it doesn't shock me
"Merry Christmas," I wrapped it up and sent it
I wished you a joyful Christmas and sent my heart to you as a gift
With a note saying "I love you," I meant it
Accompanied by a message expressing my genuine feelings of love
Now I know what a fool I've been
Now I realize how foolish I have been in giving my heart to you
But if you kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again
Despite knowing the truth, I am still vulnerable to your deceptive ways
A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
In a room full of people, surrounded by exhausted friends
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
I am trying to avoid you and your cold, heartless nature
My God, I thought you were someone to rely on
I had mistakenly believed that I could depend on you
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
I was simply a comfort for you to lean on in times of sadness
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A person who appeared passionate and full of love
A man under cover but you tore me apart
A hidden individual who ended up breaking my heart
Ooh, ooh, now I've found a real love
Now, I have discovered a genuine and true love
You'll never fool me again
I will not allow myself to be deceived by you once more
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart (I gave you mine)
A person who expressed love and passion towards you (I gave you my heart)
A man under cover, but you tore him apart
A hidden man, whose true self you destroyed
Maybe next year, we'll give it to someone
Perhaps in the future, we will find someone else to give our love to
I'll give it to someone special (special!)
I will reserve my love for someone who is truly exceptional
So long!
Goodbye!
