Last Christmas
Lea Michele Cory Monteith & Amber Riley Lyrics

Last christmas
Refers to the previous holiday season

I gave you my heart (gave you my heart)
I gave you all my love and trust

But the very next day you gave it away (gave it away)
But you betrayed me and broke my heart

This year
Now, during this holiday season

To save me from tears
To avoid feeling sad and hurt again

I'll give it to someone special (special)
I'll give my love to someone who deserves and cherishes it

Once bitten and twice shy
After being hurt before, I'm cautious and hesitant

I keep my distance
I try to avoid getting too close to you

But you still catch my eye
But I can't help noticing you

Tell me baby
I want to know

Do you recognize me?
Do you remember who I am?

Well, it's been a year
It's been a whole year since we last saw each other

It doesn't surprise me (Happy Christmas, Christmas)
It's not unexpected. (Wishing you a Merry Christmas)

I wrapped it up and sent it
I prepared and sent my gift of love

With a note saying "I love you"
Accompanied by a message of my affection

I meant it
I was sincere

Now I know what a fool I've been
Now I realize how foolish I was to trust and love you

But if you kissed me now
But if you were to show me affection now

I know you'd fool me again
I know you would deceive and hurt me once more

A crowded room
A gathering full of people

Friends with tired eyes
My friends who look exhausted

I'm hiding from you
I'm trying to avoid you

And your soul of ice
And your cold and heartless personality

My god I thought you were
I used to believe that you were

Someone to rely on (someone to rely on). Me?
Someone dependable and trustworthy. But now I realize I was naive and foolish to think so.

I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
I suppose I was someone you turned to when you needed comfort.

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man in love, passionate and intense

A man under cover but you tore me apart (ooh oh)
A man who tried to hide his true feelings, but you destroyed our relationship

Now I've found a real love
Now, I've discovered true love

you'll never fool me again
I won't be fooled by false love again.

This year
During this current holiday season

To save me from tears (save me from tears)
To prevent me from being emotional or hurt

I'll give it to someone special (I'll give it someone special)
I'll give my heart and love to someone who truly deserves it.
