Last Christmas
Lea Michele and Cory Monteith Lyrics

Last Christmas
Reminiscing about the past Christmas

I gave you my heart (gave you my heart)
Expressing the love for someone by giving them their heart

But the very next day you gave it away (gave it away)
Disappointment in how quickly the recipient got rid of their heart

This year
Talking about the current year

To save me from tears
Giving their heart to someone special to not be hurt again

I'll give it to someone special (special)
Hopeful to find someone deserving of their love

Once bitten and twice shy
Been hurt before, cautious about getting hurt again

I keep my distance
Trying to protect themselves from getting hurt again

But you still catch my eye
Cannot help but feel attracted to the person

Tell me, baby
Asking for confirmation of recognition

Do you recognize me? (oh)
Wanting to know if the person still remembers them

Well, it's been a year
Realizing it has been a year since the last Christmas

It doesn't surprise me (Christmas)
Not surprised to think about Christmas

I wrapped it up and sent it (last Christmas)
Sending their heart to the recipient last Christmas

With a note saying, "I love you"
Expressing their love in a note

I meant it
Being sincere about their love

Now I know what a fool I've been
Regretting their past actions

But if you kissed me now
Still having feelings for the recipient

I know you'd fool me again
Realizing the recipient may hurt them again

A crowded room
Being surrounded by people

Friends with tired eyes
Friends who have been awake for a long time

I'm hiding from you
Avoiding contact with the person

And your soul of ice
Describing the recipient's cold personality

My God, I thought you were
Feeling deceived by the recipient's personality

Someone to rely on (someone to rely on)
Thinking the recipient was trustworthy

Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
Realizing they were used by the recipient for emotional support

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
Describing the new person they have found

A man undercover but you tore me apart (ooh, ooh)
Feeling betrayed by the recipient

Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again
Being optimistic about the new love found

But the very next day (very next day)
Expressing how quickly the recipient gave away their heart

This year
Talking about the current year

I'll give it to someone special (I'll give it to someone (special))
Being hopeful to find someone deserving and special of their love

Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
Instrumental sound effect

Bum bum bum bum bum, bum bum bum bum bum
Instrumental sound effect

Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum (gave you my heart)
Instrumental sound effect with repetition of the main theme
