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
