When you're left behind
Though your heart's been true
An inconvenient memory
Well, baby, that's you
You can hang your head
You can lose your pride
Then surrender everything
And run away and hide
But I say remember that time can heal your wounds
And nobody knows what tomorrow brings
So don't give in too soon
Cause this time next year
You could be high and flyin'
Leavin' behind your tears
Clouds could have silver linings
This time next year
And when he sleeps at night
Does he see your face
Does he wonder why he put
Someone in your place
And though you feel the pain
So betrayed by lies
There's so much that you can gain
If you just realize
That each day that's wasted
You know will not return
And nobody knows what tomorrow brings
It just might be your turn
'Cause this time next year
You could be high and flyin'
Leavin' behind your tears
The clouds could have silver linings
This time... next year
This time... next year
But I say remember, time can heal your wounds
And nobody knows what tomorrow brings
So don't give up too soon
Cause this time next year
You could be high and climbin'
Leavin' behind your fears
You could have perfect timing
Baby, this time next year
Hell, you could be high and flyin'
Leavin' behind your tears
Clouds could have silver linings
This time... next year
This time... next year
