No Sittin' By the Phone
Embracing Independence: No Sittin' By the Phone
Lyrics
We used to sit over there
We used to sit together in a specific location.
That was your favorite chair
That particular chair was your favorite.
But now I sit here alone
Now I sit alone in that same place.
I can still smell your scent
I can still remember the way you smelled.
So fresh in my head
Your scent remains vivid in my mind.
Still feel you kiss me goodbye
I still feel the sensation of your goodbye kiss.
I washed clothes today.
Today, I did household chores, like laundry.
Found some of your garments
I found some of your clothes.
Guess you forgot them when you left
It seems you left some garments behind when you departed.
Took out the trash as you would
I carried out tasks like taking out the trash, just as you used to.
And dined by myself
I had a meal alone.
Guess I better get used to this
I realize I need to get accustomed to this new routine.
We used to sit over there
We used to occupy another space together.
That was your favorite chair
That particular chair remained your favorite.
But now I sit here alone
Now, however, I'm alone in that spot.
No use crying bout it,
There's no point in crying about it.
I'll have to do without it
I have to manage without you.
And no I won't sit by the phone
I won't wait by the phone for your call.
It's not like you did me right
It's evident you didn't treat me well.
I was just comfortable and used to you
I was merely comfortable and accustomed to you.
Now I see, I must first love me
Now I understand the need to prioritize self-love.
And maybe Mr. Right will come strolling along
Perhaps Mr. Right will come into my life when I prioritize myself.
