By Now

I don't talk to anyone from high school
'Cause I dropped out freshman year
Signed a record deal
Then made an album
No one's ever gonna hear

Now they've all graduated college
I've never left this studio
Memories of half my life are missing
I've still haven't written anything you know

But I'll keep breaking my own heart
Finding ways to make it out
I'm still not what I wanna be
So what more do you want from me

I should've been somebody
By now
I should've been somebody
By now
Not a damned thing's changed
And now the years go by
No one knows my name
I should've been somebody

Since I was five I never stopped performing
Even when my dad got sick
Stayed behind my family moved to Houston
One more fucking show I just couldn't miss

I've sacrificed more than enough
And after everything I've done
I'm still not where I wanna be
So what more do you want from me

I should've been somebody
By now
I should've been somebody
By now
Not a damned thing's changed
And now the years go by
No one knows my name
I should've been somebody

I could've been somebody
