By Now

Thought I would hate it
Seeing you wasting away
Nothing to say
Now that you're taken

I would be faking if I
Said that I wasn't surprised
And all the melodies that I thought you wrote for me
Are you singing them for her now instead?

Thought I'd be better by now
Than when we were together
I'd be better by now
I guess you don't remember

Said you were waiting
So I counted days till the fall
Never said nothing at all
(Never said nothing at all)

I went away and
You stayed the same through it all
Knew I was right all along
And all the melodies that I thought you wrote for me
Are you singing them for her now instead?

And every part of me that still holds onto the dream
That you never meant the words that you said
I'd be better by now
Than when we were together

I'd be better by now, better
I'd be better by now
Than when we were together
I'd be better by now

I guess you don't remember
Tell me you're better off with her
And she doesn't have the burden
I'm better by now
Better, better, better
Better by now
Better by now
