"By Now" lyrics

"By Now"

Yeah
Shoop
Do-do-do, do-do-do

I thought it would be over by now
Suddenly, I'm facing two years now
Promised me no more than a crush
No, I can't even trust my own self now
I hear you when I'm all alone
I need the time to be alone
But how long can I fight a feeling for?

If only you could've decided that you want me
Now it's only time that can console me
Wish I could return the dream you sold me
I would be over you by now
By now
By now, by now, by now
By now
I should be over you by now

Solitude a friend to me
She keeps on telling me that I've drowned
I fear, she sees the truth I bleed
From every single wound that she's found
Her person was my one desire (One desire)
I fear I've lost my sole provider (Sole provider)
So how long can I fight this feeling for?

If only you could've decided that you want me
Now it's only time that can console me
Wish I could return the dream you sold me
I would be over you by now
By now
By now, by now, by now
By now
(I should be over you by now)

Baby, if I'm honest, I could try and find a way
Baby, if I tell myself, "Without you, I'm okay"
I'd be lying to me, why confide in me?
I'm the enemy

I should be over you by now
By now
By now, by now, by now
By now
I should be over you by now

(Do-do-do, do-do-do)
