Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The very next day you gave it away
This year to save me the tears
I'll give it to someone special.
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The very next day you gave it away
This year to save me the tears
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The very next day you gave it away
This year to save me the tears
I'll give it to someone special.
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The very next day you gave it away
This year to save me the tears
I'll give it to someone special.
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Now I've found the real love, now I found
You'll never fool me again!
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Now I've found the real love, now I found
You'll never fool me again!
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The very next day you gave it away
This year to save me the tears
I'll give it to someone special.
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The very next day you gave it away
This year to save me the tears
I'll give it to someone special.
The lyrics to "Last Christmas" by J-Ricz reflect the heartbreak and disappointment of a failed romantic relationship. The singer recalls the previous year's Christmas when he gave his heart to his lover, only to have it carelessly discarded the next day. In an effort to avoid further heartache, he has decided to give his heart to someone else this year, someone who will appreciate it and treat it with care. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the idea that the singer has learned from his past mistakes and is determined to make a better choice this time around.
The second verse describes the singer's past lover as a "man undercover" who "tore [him] apart." This suggests that the relationship was not what it appeared to be on the surface and that the singer was deeply hurt by the deception. However, the final lines of the verse suggest that the singer has found true love since then and will not be fooled again. The use of the word "found" implies that love is something that can be discovered or attained, rather than just falling into someone's lap.
Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on love, loss, and the search for happiness. It acknowledges the pain of heartbreak while also emphasizing the importance of learning from one's mistakes and moving forward.
