i guess he`s workin` 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
Chorus:
it`s not like he`s gotta read my mind
to know what i`m feelin` after all this time
it`s just to 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 bein` alone
couldn`t be much worse if i were gone
and in a way i am
he oughta know that by now
Repeat Chorus
heartache and coffee at Mightnight Hotel
leavin` him was hard as well
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
