By Now

(album: Perfectionist - 2020)

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 still haven't written anything, you know

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

I should have been somebody
By now
I should have been somebody
By now
Not a damn thing has changed
Another year goes by
And no one knows my name
I should've been somebody

Since I was five I never stop performing
Even when my dad got sick
I 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 have been somebody
By now
I should have been somebody
By now
I should have been somebody
Another year goes by
And no one knows my name
I should have been somebody

I could have been somebody
