He Oughta Know That By Now

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 feelin' after all this time It's just too hard to hold on to what's 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 on to what is never around He oughta know that by now Heart ache and coffee at midnight motels Leaving him was hard as hell But I did And he oughta know that by now I didn't try to explain No goodbye 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
