Last Christmas
Jada Facer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
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
Once bitten and twice shy
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
Happy 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
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
Ooh
Oh, oh, baby
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 on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover, but you tore me apart
Oh, oh now I've found a real love
You'll never 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, special
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
Special
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart (I gave you mine)
A man under cover but you tore him apart
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special




Special
So long

Overall Meaning

Jada Facer's "Last Christmas" is a song that is famously known for the heartbreak and betrayal that come with the holiday season. The song is a beautiful and powerful love song that reflects on the pain of being hurt in a relationship. The first verse starts with the lyrics "Last Christmas I gave you my heart, but the very next day you gave it away". This line illustrates how the singer feels hurt and devastated by the sudden loss of their lover, and this betrayal has left an indelible mark on their heart forever.


In the second verse, the singer tells about how they have been hurt before and are now "twice shy". They are cautious and wary of getting close to anyone again because they do not want to experience the same heartbreak once more. The lyrics "A crowded room, friends with tired eyes, I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice" paint a picture of a lonely and broken-hearted person trying to find solace away from the person who broke their heart.


In the chorus, Jada sings about finding someone special to give her heart to this Christmas. She has decided to let go of the past and move on to someone who truly loves and appreciates her. The chorus emphasises the importance of giving love to someone who deserves it, as opposed to wasting it on someone who does not appreciate it.
