Verse 1 

This time next year I'll be home hanging curtains 

Trying to just get on with my life 

This time next year hope I'm through with the hurtin' 

Trying to get you out of my mind 

B-section 1 

Don't try to play like you're not that concerned 

Don't try to say that your heart doesn't burn 

So, tell me 

Chorus 

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 can take it or leave it 

When I'm missing you 

And I know you'll be missing me, too? 

Verse 2 

This time next year I'll be out having dinner 

And something will remind me of you(Remind me of you) 

Though I'll try to be strong Lord know it won't be easy 

Gonna take some time getting over loving you 

B-section 2 

Don't try to play like you won't be concerned 

Cause if there's no way that your heart wouldn't yearn 

Oh, tell me 

Chorus 

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? 

And how can you say 

You can take it or leave it 

When I'm missing you and I know 

You'll be missing me, too? 

Bridge 

Some early morning I'll be 

Having my coffee and I'll 

I'll think of you 

All the things we used to do, 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 

Tell me 

Chorus 

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? 

And how can you say 

You can take it or leave it 

When I'm missing you and I know 

You'll be missing me, too? 

How can you say(How can you say, how can you say it) 

That our love isn't special? 

And how can you say(How can you say) 

That our love wasn't true? 

And how can you say 

You can 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 

When I'm missing you and I know, oh, oh, oh 

You'll be missing me too 

Ooh
