Last Christmas
Eden Prince Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Oh, I'll give it
I'll give it to someone
Oh, I'll give it
I'll give it to someone
Oh, I'll give it
I'll give it to someone
Oh, give it to someone special
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 of a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover, but you tore me apart
Ooh, ooh
Now I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again (oh)
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
But this year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Oh, I'll give it
I'll give it to someone
Oh, I'll give it
I'll give it to someone
Oh, I'll give it (give it)
I'll give it to someone
Oh, give it to someone special
Oh, I'll give it
I'll give it to someone
Oh, I'll give it
I'll give it to someone
Oh, I'll give it (special)
I'll give it to someone
Oh, give it to someone special (someone special, someone special)
(Someone special, someone special)
(Someone special, someone special)
Special, special (someone special, someone special)
(Someone special, someone)
The lyrics of Eden Prince's song "Last Christmas" convey the pain and vulnerability that comes with love and heartbreak during the holiday season. The singer begins by acknowledging their past experiences, having been hurt before and becoming cautious. Despite their attempts to keep their distance, they still find themselves drawn to someone who catches their eye. They ask if this person recognizes them and acknowledge that it has been a year since their last encounter.
The singer reveals that last Christmas, they gave their heart to this person, believing in the sincerity of their love. However, the very next day, the person they gave their heart to discarded it and moved on. This year, in order to protect themselves from experiencing the same pain and sadness, they decide to give their heart to someone special instead.
In a crowded room filled with tired eyes, the singer hides from the person who has caused them so much hurt. They once believed that this person was reliable, someone they could lean on in times of need, but now realize that they were merely a shoulder to cry on. The singer describes themselves as a lover with a passionate heart, willing to go undercover for this person. However, the individual tore them apart emotionally. Despite this, the singer states that they have now found true love and the person who hurt them will never be able to fool them again.
The repetition of the line "I'll give it to someone special" becomes an anthem of resilience and determination to move on. By giving their heart to someone who truly deserves it, the singer is affirming their worth and their decision to not let past pain hold them back. They emphasize that they will find someone special to share their love with, breaking free from the cycle of heartbreak and finding happiness again.
In essence, "Last Christmas" explores the themes of heartbreak, resilience, and the transformation of pain into strength. It serves as a reminder to choose wisely who we give our love to, and to not let past experiences define our future happiness.

Do you remember and acknowledge who I am?
Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me
It's been a while since we last met, so it's not unexpected
Merry Christmas, I wrapped it up and sent it
I wish you a joyful Christmas; I prepared and sent a gift
With a note saying 'I love you,' I meant it
The attached message expressing love was sincere and genuine
Now I know what a fool I've been
I have come to realize that I have been foolish
