Toni Braxton - This Time Next Year Lyrics

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)
How can you do it, baby?
(How can you say)
How can you say our love ain’t true?
(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)
How can you say baby our love ain’t special?
(How can you say)
Tell me, how you say our love ain’t true?
(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

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 be missing me, too?
