でも愛はもう ここにはいない this year (this year)
Last Christmas ふたりなら 願いはかなうと信じてた (信じてた)
まだ越えられない 君は今でも special (special)
Oh, oh, my baby
出会って気づいたよ 本当は僕も淋しがりやだと
ねえ君は覚えてるかい? ふたりで交わした初めてのキス
思えば僕は 君にはたぶん重すぎたよね
わかったふりの強がり 張り裂けそうな my beating heart

The song "Last Christmas" by Exile is a ballad about a past love that is haunting the singer during the holiday season. The opening lines translate to "Last Christmas, it can't yet become just a memory (it can't yet), but love is no longer here this year." The singer reflects on their past with their former lover, believing that their wishes would come true as long as they were together - "Last Christmas, we believed that wishes would come true if we were together". However, they cannot forget their deep connection with their former partner, stating that "you are still special in my heart".
The chorus is repeated twice, emphasizing the pain and difficulty of moving on from this love. The singer also reflects on their own loneliness and their first kiss with their lover. They acknowledge that their love might have been too much for their partner to carry, and they put on a strong front to hide their feelings. The bridge reflects on the fact that our pain and suffering are proof of our existence, "Sadness and pain are proof that we are living; we only realize what is important when we lose it." In the end, the singer acknowledges that they cannot return to the past, but they still hold their former love dear in their heart.
