Lyrics:

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
