Sitting Here Without You
Heartache Echoes in Moonlight: Sturgill Simpson's Melancholic Tale
Lyrics
You could have told me you didn't care about me
You could have communicated that you didn't value or care for me.
You could have told me you was the cheating kind
You could have indicated that you were inclined to be unfaithful.
I'd be out on the town running around
I would have been out exploring the city, seeking other experiences.
Seeing what else I could find
Trying to find alternative connections or relationships.
Instead of sitting here without you
Instead of being alone without your presence.
And with you on my mind
However, thoughts of you persistently occupy my mind.
I'm all alone in the night
I find myself solitary in the darkness.
And I know you ain't coming back to me
Realizing that you won't return to me.
There's a moon over me so bright
The moon shines brightly above me.
Oh it lights up my sorrow for everyone to see
Highlighting my grief openly for others to witness.
You could have told me you didn't care about me
Similar sentiment expressed as in line 1.
You could have told me you was the cheating kind
A repetition indicating a belief or expectation about the partner's behavior.
I'd be out on the town running around
Expressing a hypothetical situation of being more outgoing if aware of betrayal.
Seeing what else I could find
Seeking other possibilities or people if aware of being mistreated.
Instead of sitting here without you
And with you on my mind
Reflecting on the emptiness felt without the partner's presence.
Don't have to tell nobody how I'm feeling
No need to express my emotions to anyone.
Don't have to tell nobody how I cry
No necessity to convey my tears or emotional state to others.
Oh It's written on my face cause' I know you're out there stealing
My feelings are evident due to my knowledge of your infidelity.
All them sweet, sweet kisses from all them other guys
Assuming you are receiving affection from other men.
Well you could have told me you didn't care about me
Reiterating the partner's lack of care.
You could have told me you was the cheating kind
Repeating the idea of potential infidelity in the partner.
I'd be out on the town running around
Imagining a scenario where I would seek other connections due to betrayal.
Seeing what else I could find
Exploring alternatives because of perceived unfaithfulness.
Instead of sitting here without you
And with you on my mind
Continuing to dwell on thoughts of the absent partner.
I'd be out on the town running around
A repetition of the desire to explore other options if aware of betrayal.
Seeing what else I could find
Seeking different experiences due to a sense of being mistreated.
Instead of sitting here without you
Emphasizing the loneliness experienced without the partner.
And with you on my mind
Continuing to be preoccupied with thoughts of the absent partner.
