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? How can you say that our love wasn't 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? This time next year, I'll be out buying presents And something will remind me of you, yeah, yeah 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? 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? 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?)
