This Time Next Year

This time next year I'll be home lighting candles

Tryin' to just get on with my life

And this time next year hope I'm through with the hurting

Tryin' to get you out of my mind

So don't try to play like you're not that concerned

And don't try to say that your heart doesn't burn

Oh, tell me

How can you say that our love isn't special?

And how can you say that our love wasn't true? (True)

And how can you say you can take it or leave it (Leave it)

When I'm missing you and you know you'll be missing me, too?

Oh yeah

This time next year I'll be out buying presents

And something will remind me of you, baby

And this time next year I'll be out having dinner

And run into some friends we both knew, yeah yeah

Oh, don't try to play like you won't be concerned

And don't try to say that your heart doesn't yearn

Oh, tell me

How can you say that our love isn't special?

How can you say that our love wasn't true? (True)

And how can you say you can take it or leave it (Leave it)

When I'm missing you and you know you'll be missing me, too?

Yeah, yeah, oh baby, yeah

Come early Christmas morning

I'll be having my coffee and I'll think of you

And the things we used to do, ooh

And you know it will be breaking my heart

'Cause the holidays are special

It will always play a part in my heart

Tell me

How can you say (How can you do it, baby)?

And how can you say (How can you say our love ain't true?) (True)

And how can you say you can take it or leave it (Leave it)

When I'm missing you and you know

You'll be missing, tell me

How can you say that our love ain't special?

How can you say (Tell me how can you say our love ain't true?) (True)

How can you say, ooh baby, you can take it or leave it (Leave it)

When I'm missing you and you know you'll be missing

When I'm missing you and you know you'll be missing, baby, yeah

I'm missing you and you know you'll be missing

That you'll be missing me, too, baby?
