By Now

How've you been? Can I come in?
Just came to get my things
And then I guess, I'm leaving
If I could say what you'd like to hear
I'd whisper in your ear, it's only temporary.

But I've been taking you for granted
And I thought you'd feel the same as me
It's time that I come clean.

But, but for now can we just
Both pretend to sleep
Sometimes the one you want
Is not the one you need
What goes around don't come around.

You should know me by now
Better than, better than, better than
(You should know me)

Better than, better than, better than
(You should know me)
Better than, better than, better than
(You should know me)

I should know you as well
Better than, better than, better than
(You should know me)

Better than, better than, better than
(You should know me)
Better than, better than, better than
(You should know me)
You should know me by now.

Our talk is small, I'm seven inches tall
And you should keep the apartment
So here's my keys, changed all the bells
We're only built to spill and wonder where it all went.

And you've been taking me for granted
And I thought you'd feel the same as me
It's time that I come clean.

But, but for now can we just
Both pretend to sleep
Sometimes the one you want
Is not the one you need
What goes around don't come around.

You should know me by now
Better than, better than, better than
(You should know me)

Better than, better than, better than
(You should know me)
Better than, better than, better than
(You should know me)

I should know you as well
Better than, better than, better than
(You should know me)

Better than, better than, better than
(You should know me)
Better than, better than, better than
(You should know me)
You should know me by now.

I know that I remember you
I think that you remember me too
How can one of us still feel blessed
While the other ones lost.

I know you've got to feel the change
It just gets worse when it stays the same
How can one of us still feel blessed
While the other one's so lost.

By now
Sometimes the one you want
Is not the one you need
What goes around don't come around
(Don't you know me by now?)

Better than, better than, better than
(You should know me)

Better than, better than, better than
(You should know me)
Better than, better than, better than
(You should know me)

I should know you as well
Better than, better than, better than
(You should know me)
Better than, better than, better than
(You should know me)

Better than, better than, better than
(You should know me)
You should know me by now.
