Last X'mas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day
you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
Last X'mas
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 some one special
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
but still you catch my eye
Tell me baby
do you recognize me?
Well it's been a year it doesn't surprise me
(Merry christmas)
I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note said I love you I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kiss me now
I know you'll fool me again
Last X'mas
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 some one special
Last X'mas
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 some one special
Ooh-ooh-baby
Crowded room
friends with tired eyes
Hidding from you and your soul rivival
My god I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was the shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with fire in his heart
A man undercover puts his heart in a part
Ah--ooh--now I found the real love
You never fool me again
Last X'mas
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 some one special
Last X'mas
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 some one special
A face on a lover with fire in his heart
A man undercover puts his heart in a part
Ah--ooh--now I found the real love
You never fool me again
Last X'mas
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 some one special
Last X'mas
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 some one special
Last X'mas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day
The lyrics of "Last Christmas" by Coeur de Pirate tell a story of heartbreak and betrayal during the holiday season. The singer reflects on a past relationship where they gave their heart to someone, only to have it broken when that person quickly moved on. The repetition of giving their heart away on last Christmas emphasizes the pain and disappointment felt by the singer when their love was not reciprocated.
The lyrics also suggest a sense of realization and regret on the part of the singer. They acknowledge their own foolishness in giving their heart so freely, but also express a desire to find someone truly special who will not deceive them. The line "I wrapped it up and sent it with a note said I love you I meant it" shows the sincerity of the singer's feelings, despite the betrayal they experienced.
The mention of being once bitten and twice shy highlights the singer's cautiousness in opening up to love again after being hurt. Despite trying to keep their distance, the singer admits they are still drawn to the person who broke their heart. The emotional turmoil and vulnerability of the singer are depicted through the lyrics as they struggle to come to terms with the pain of the past.
In the end, there is a sense of empowerment and self-awareness as the singer vows to no longer be fooled by empty promises of love. The repetition of the refrain "This year to save me from tears, I'll give it to someone special" signifies a newfound determination to protect their heart and find genuine love. The song captures the bittersweet emotions of heartbreak and resilience, ultimately conveying a message of hope and self-worth in the face of betrayal.

Last christmas
Reflecting on the previous holiday season
I gave you my heart
I gave you my love and trust
But the very next day
However, shortly after
you gave it away
You betrayed my trust and let me down
This year to save me from tears
To avoid heartbreak this year
I'll give it to some one special
I'll give my love to someone deserving
Once bitten and twice shy
Being cautious after being hurt before
I keep my distance
I am wary and keep my guard up
but still you catch my eye
But I can't help being attracted to you
Tell me baby
Please confirm
do you recognize me?
Do you remember who I am?
Well it's been a year it doesn't surprise me
It's been a while, so I'm not shocked
(Merry christmas)
(Wishing happiness this season)
I wrapped it up and sent it
I packaged my love and sent it to you
With a note said I love you I meant it
Expressing genuine feelings
Now I know what a fool I've been
Realizing my mistakes and naivety
But if you kiss me now
But if you try to win me back now
I know you'll fool me again
I know you'll deceive me once more
Crowded room
Surrounded by many people
friends with tired eyes
Friends who have seen it all
Hidding from you and your soul rivival
Avoiding your attempts to reconnect emotionally
My god I thought you were someone to rely on
I believed you were trustworthy
Me? I guess I was the shoulder to cry on
I was the one you turned to in times of need
A face on a lover with fire in his heart
A passionate appearance of love
A man undercover puts his heart in a part
A man hiding his true intentions
Ah--ooh--now I found the real love
Now I have discovered genuine love
You never fool me again
I won't let you deceive me again
