All four seasons came and went We're right back here again Something about when it's about to snow I think we might have a chance And love is not a feeling It's the gift you choose to give And my back seats full of your presents I'm so sick of learning my lesson ♪ It's not a holiday without you But after all that you put me through I can't keep doing that same old thing Hoping something's gonna change no Cause the days are getting shorter (Cause the days are getting shorter) And the fires burning low, I know Every time I let you, how-my-gonna-let you go Maybe next year I'll have someone who feels like home And I won't spend the nights alone Waiting around out in the cold Maybe next year I'll be so far from what we had With a love that'll love me back But right now this heartaches all I have Maybe next year Dodging snow and mistletoe I'm at your house again Wasn't my plan, it's more like a habit A familiar place to land Everything inside me's saying, baby don't go in You take for granted the hand you've been handed You string me along and you know I can't stand it It's not a holiday without you But after all that you put me through I can't keep doing that same old thing Hoping something's gonna change no (Somethings gonna change, no) Cause the days are getting shorter (Cause the days are getting shorter) And the fires burning low, I know Every time I let you, how-my-gonna-let you go Maybe next year I'll have someone who feels like home And I won't spend the nights alone Waiting around out in the cold Maybe next year I'll be so far from what we had With a love that'll love me back But right now this heartaches all I have Maybe next year OH MAYBE NEXT YEAR I'LL KNOW MAYBE NEXT YEAR I'LL KNOW MAYBE NEXT YEAR I'LL LET YOU GO OH NO MAYBE NEXT YEAR I'LL KNOW I'LL KNOW, OH OH OH, NO OH . . . ♪ MAYBE NEXT YEAR
