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 nowI 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 nowIt'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 nowHe 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 nowI'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 nowIt'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 nowHeartache and coffee at Midnight Motel
Leavin' him was hard as hell, but I did
He oughta know that by nowI 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
