| I guess he’s working late again
|
| I don’t need to wonder where he is
|
| But I do
|
| He oughta know that by now
|
| I know his job takes a lot of him
|
| There’s not much left for him to give
|
| But I need more
|
| He oughta know that by now
|
| It’s not like he’s gotta read my mind
|
| To know what I’m feeling after all this time
|
| It’s just too hard to hold onto what is never around
|
| He oughta know that by now
|
| He used to promise soon things would change
|
| It’s been years and it’s still the same
|
| And that hurts
|
| He oughta know that by now
|
| I’ve grown so used to being alone
|
| Couldn’t be much worse if I were gone
|
| And in a way I am
|
| He oughta know that by now
|
| It’s not like he’s gotta read my mind
|
| To know what I’m feelin' after all this time
|
| It’s just too hard to hold onto what is never around
|
| He oughta know that by now
|
| Heartache and coffee at midnight motel
|
| Leavin' him was hard as hell, but I did
|
| He oughta know that by now
|
| I didn’t try to explain
|
| No good-bye underneath my ring
|
| That was all I left
|
| He oughta know that by now
|
| That was all I left
|
| And he oughta know that by now |
