Last Christmas
Cory Monteith and Lea Michele Lyrics

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart (gave you my heart)
On the previous Christmas, I showed you my love and affection completely.

But the very next day, you gave it away (gave it away)
However, you disregarded my love and left me heartbroken without hesitation.

This year, to save me from tears
To avoid the emotional pain I experienced last year, I promised myself to do things differently.

I'll give it to someone special (special)
I will find someone who deserves my love, someone that would treasure my heart the way I do.

Once bitten and twice shy
After suffering from love unreciprocated the past year, I become apprehensive about giving my heart to someone again.

I keep my distance
I maintain a safe distance to protect myself from being hurt again.

But you still catch my eye
However, I still cannot help but look at you with admiration, retain some hope that maybe things could have been different.

Tell me baby, do you recognize me?
I wonder if you recall who I am and what we had last year?

Well, it's been a year
It's been a long 12 months since our romance from last Christmas.

It doesn't surprise me (Happy Christmas, Christmas)
I would remain calm, but the memories of our love hurt me even more during this festive period.

I wrapped it up and sent it
Despite my fears, I took a chance and sent you a gift.

With a note saying "I love you,"
I included a note expressing my love for you.

I meant it
I said it because I meant every word.

Now I know what a fool I've been
Reflecting on my actions, I understand I was foolish to open up my heart to you in the first place.

But if you kissed me now
If you pulled me close and kissed me right now,

I know you'd fool me again
I'm afraid I'd still fall for your charms, even though I should know better.

A crowded room
In a room full of festive cheer,

Friends with tired eyes
My friends, also trying to recover from their own heartbreaks, surround me.

I'm hiding from you
I do my best to avoid you and not let you see how much you still affect me.

And your soul of ice
You seem cold and distant, completely different from last year when we were together.

My god, I thought you were someone to rely on (someone to rely on). Me?
I was under the impression that you were dependable and trustworthy, I should have known you wouldn't reciprocate my feelings.

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
Now, I've found someone new, someone who genuinely loves me.

A man under cover but you tore me apart (ooh oh)
Whereas, you made me feel undone, rejected, and hurt.

Now I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again
Now that I have found someone who genuinely loves me, I'm confident I won't fall for your charm again.
