Verse 1 The snow brings memories I’ll never forget The cold reminds me of my deepest regrets The snow brings me back to Our last Christmas The cold reminds me of the void’s bitter stillness Johnny! I got into Boston Berklee Baby, can’t you just come with me? Please… I said yes, still it became empty words I got busted, I never got any visa declared Still, you had to leave, still it hurts I said I’d wait for you, but life took its turns ⸻ Verse 2 One late December evening, you came home You flew half the world, I never answered my phone After you left, I had no one to keep me clean So our last Christmas, I was the one missing I robbed banks, I killed our dream, I got stone I didn’t even know you were home, I had lost my phone You came to surprise me! Surprise! I was gone ⸻ Chorus 1 Last Christmas still plays in the snow I lost my love, still I can’t let it go I hate the song, yet it feels so strong The shame, the emptiness, all I’ve done wrong I’ll never hold you again, our last Christmas is gone ⸻ [Instrumental Pause – 8 bars, acoustic guitar + soft piano + reverb electric guitar swells + low ambient pads, haunted and cinematic] ⸻ Verse 3 I heard it from a friend you were back You had been searching day and night You looked so beautiful, yet so sad In your eyes, I knew all your hopes turned bad I never tried to find you again I knew you were too good for me Your love was everything, but I turned it into pain You never came back to me And I’m the only one to blame ⸻ Chorus 2 Last Christmas still plays in the snow I lost my love, still I can’t let it go I hate the song, yet it feels so strong The shame, the emptiness, all I’ve done wrong I’ll never hold you again, our last Christmas is gone ⸻ Outro Last Christmas still plays in the snow I hate the song, yet it feels so strong I’ll never hold you again, our last Christmas is gone
