This time next year I'll be home hanging curtains
Tryna just get on with my life
This time next year hope I'm through with the hurting
Tryna get you out of my mind

Don't try to play like you're not that concerned
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
And how can you say you could take it or leave it
When I'm missing you and I know you'll be missing me too

This time next year I'll be out having dinner
And something will remind me of you (remind me of you)
Though I tried to be strong, Lord, no it won't be easy
Gonna take some time to get over loving you

Don't try to play like you won't be concerned
Cause if there's no way that your heart won't be earned

Oh tell me how can you say (how can you say) that our love isn't special
And how can you say (how can you say) that our love wasn't true (ooh)
And how can you say you could take it or leave it
When I'm missing you and I know you'll be missing me too

(Ah)
Some early morning I'll be, having my coffee and I'll
(Ah)
I'll think of you, all the things we used to do oh
(Oh oh oh)
But I know it will be breaking my heart
Cause the love we had was special
It should always play a part in my heart

(Oh)

Tell me how can you say (how can you say) that our love isn't special
And how can you say (how can you say) that our love wasn't true (ooh)
And how can you say you could take it or leave it
When I'm missing you and I know you'll be missing oh

How can you say (how can you say) that our love isn't special (how can you say yeah)
And how can you say (how can you say) that our love wasn't true (ooh)
And how can you say you could take it or leave it
When I'm missing you and I know you'll be missing

When I'm missing you and I know you'll be missing (yeah yeah)
When I'm missing you and I know

You'll be missing me too (oh)
Mmm
