I guess he's working late again I don't need to wonder where he is But I do He ought a 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 ought a know that by now [Chorus] It's not like he's gotta read my mind To know what I'm feeling after all this time It's just so hard to hold onto what is never around He ought a 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 ought a 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 ought a know that by now [Chorus] Heartache and coffee at midnight motel Leaving him was hard as hell, but I did He ought a know that by now I didn't try to explain No goodbye underneath my ring That was all I left He ought a know that by now That was all I left And he ought a know that by now
