Last Christmas
Cory Monteith & Lea Michele Lyrics

Last Christmas
The previous year's holiday season

I gave you my heart (gave you my heart)
I gave you my love and trust

But the very next day you gave it away (gave it away)
You quickly betrayed my love and trust

This year
During the current holiday season

To save me from tears
To avoid feeling sadness or disappointment

I'll give it to someone special (special)
I'll give my love and trust to someone who deserves it

Once bitten and twice shy
Because I've been hurt before, I'm cautious now

I keep my distance
I try to avoid getting too close to you

But you still catch my eye
Your presence still draws me in

Tell me, baby
Ask me honestly

Do you recognize me? (oh)
Do you remember who I am?

Well, it's been a year
It's been a whole year since we last spent the holidays together

It doesn't surprise me (Christmas)
I'm not shocked because it's Christmas again

I wrapped it up and sent it (last Christmas)
I sent you my love and trust in a tangible form

With a note saying, "I love you"
I expressed my feelings for you in writing

I meant it
I was sincere in my expression of love

Now I know what a fool I've been
I've come to realize how foolish I was for trusting you

But if you kissed me now
If you were to kiss me in this moment

I know you'd fool me again
I'm aware that you would trick me once more

A crowded room
An area filled with many people

Friends with tired eyes
People who appear exhausted or worn out

I'm hiding from you
I'm purposely avoiding you

And your soul of ice
Your cold and unfeeling nature

My God, I thought you were
I believed that you were

Someone to rely on (someone to rely on)
Someone I could trust and depend on

Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
I was someone that you turned to for emotional support

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
An attractive man who is passionate and deeply caring

A man undercover but you tore me apart (ooh, ooh)
Someone who pretended to be someone he wasn't, but ultimately heartbreak ensued

Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again
I've found someone who truly cares about me and I won't let you trick me again

This year
During the current holiday season

To save me from tears (save me from tears)
To avoid feeling sadness or disappointment

I'll give it to someone special, special (oh, oh, oh)
I'll give my love and trust to someone who deserves it

Last Christmas
The previous year's holiday season

But the very next day you gave it away (you gave me away)
You quickly betrayed my love and trust

I'll give it to someone special (I'll give it to someone (special))
I'll give my love and trust to someone who deserves it

Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum (gave you my heart)

Bum bum bum bum bum, bum bum bum bum bum
