Last Christmas
Sunway Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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.

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.

Overall Meaning

The song "Last Christmas" by Sunway is a classic holiday hit that describes a failed romance. The lyrics convey the emotions of a person who gave their heart to their lover but was let down. The song begins by stating that last Christmas, the person gave their heart to their lover, but the very next day, their lover gave it away to someone else – signifying that they had moved on to a different person quickly.

The lyrics continue to describe the person's hurt feelings and disappointment caused by their previous relationship. The image of a "face on a lover with a fire in his heart" is juxtaposed with the person's realization that their lover was "man undercover" who ended up tearing them apart. However, the person declares that they have now "found the real love" and that their former lover will "never fool me again."


Overall, "Last Christmas" is a song about heartbreak, healing, and moving on. Despite the painful experience of giving away their heart, the person is moving forward with hope and optimism, seeking a new love that will be "someone special."
