Been By Now

no need to act surprised,
i've seen it in your eyes
i feel it when we lie here, worlds apart
it's easier to stay, it's easier to say
that there's gon' come a day
it won't be this hard
nah, we don't even fight like we used to..
we don't even care 'nough to cry no more
it's been a hundred nights
since i knew you..
how long we gonna keep
lookin' at that door?
Chorus :
if it was meant to be,
we'd have been by now
we wouldn't have to keep
tryna work things out
yeah, baby, we're a breeze
when the lights go down
it wouldn't be so hard
when we ain't in the dark
if we were in the stars,
they'd have lined right up
yeah, maybe from the start,
we've been tryin' too much
i know you wanna think
that it's what we found
but if it was meant to be,
we'd have been by now
been by now

if i could go and find,
the moment or the night,
my heart went cold as ice,
i'd light the match
don't wanna draw the line,
don't wanna say goodbye
but we're just wastin' time, girl,
that we don't have..
Chorus :
if it was meant to be,
we'd have been by now
we wouldn't have to keep
tryna work things out
yeah, baby, we're a breeze
when the lights go down
it wouldn't be so hard
when we ain't in the dark
if we were in the stars,
they'd have lined right up
yeah, maybe from the start,
we've been tryin' too much
i know you wanna think
that it's what we found
but if it was meant to be,
we'd have been by now
been by now

nah, we don't even fight like we used to..
we don't even care 'nough to cry no more
it's been a hundred nights
since i knew you..
and i can't spend another
lookin' at that door..
Chorus :
if it was meant to be,
we'd have been by now
