I’ve always wanted to be something and my family and friends have supported it. My best friend’s mom even encouraged me. Lexi looks up to artists like Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez. “Taylor because she’s so wholesome and I can relate to her story and her music,” she says. “Selena, I’ve been watching her show on Disney since I was little. I love her music and songs as well.”
Last Christmas
Lexi St. George Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 (you gave it away)
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)
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
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 (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 (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 (gave you my heart)
A man under cover buy you tore him apart
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special
Lexi St. George's song "Last Christmas" is a cover of the famous Wham! song with the same name. The lyrics tell a story of heartbreak and the singer's decision to move on from a past love who betrayed her. She reminisces about the time when she gave her heart to her former lover last Christmas and how he gave it away the next day. This year, she resolves to give her heart to someone special to prevent herself from getting hurt again.
The singer keeps her distance from her former lover, but he still catches her eye. She wonders if he even recognizes her after a year has passed since they were together. She sent him a wrapped gift with a note saying, "I love you" last Christmas, but now she knows what a fool she has been. If he were to kiss her now, she believes he would only fool her again. The crowded room full of tired-eyed friends makes her realize that she was just a shoulder to cry on for her former lover.
In the end, the singer finds hope in the possibility of finding a new love that will never hurt her again. The song is a message of hope and resilience for anyone who has loved and lost.

Last christmas
Refers to the previous Christmas
I gave you my heart
I gave you my love and trust
But the very next day you gave it away
You broke my heart and betrayed my trust
This year
Refers to the current year
To save me from tears
So that I won't cry anymore
I'll give it to someone special
I'll entrust my love to someone who deserves it
Once bitten and twice shy
After being hurt before, I am now cautious
I keep my distance
I try to avoid getting hurt again
But you still catch my eye
I am still attracted to you despite my caution
Tell me baby
Addressing the person she's singing to
Do you recognize me?
Asking if the person remembers her
Well, it's been a year
It has been a year since they last saw each other
It doesn't surprise me (Happy Christmas)
She's expressing her nonchalance
I wrapped it up and sent it
Refers to sending a gift
With a note saying "I love you"
Accompanying the gift with a message expressing her love
I meant it
She truly loves the person she's singing to
Now I know what a fool I've been
She realizes how foolish she was to trust the person before
But if you kissed me now
She's still open to the idea of getting back together
I know you'd fool me again
She's aware that the person is not trustworthy
A crowded room
Refers to a social gathering
Friends with tired eyes
Her friends are aware of how hurt she was before
I'm hiding from you
She's avoiding the person she's singing to
And your soul of ice
The person she's singing to has a cold and heartless personality
My god I thought you were
Expressing her disappointment and shock
Someone to rely on. Me?
Questioning if the person ever took her seriously
I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
She was only there for the person to lean on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
Refers to someone who truly loves her
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Refers to being hurt by the person she's singing to
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again
She has moved on and found someone better
A man under cover buy you tore him apart
Repeating the second verse
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
She's hopeful and looking forward to giving love to someone who's worth it
I'll give it to someone special
Repeating the chorus
