The Other Shoe

I never thought about the future
 Never even crossed my mind
 Went to work every day to earn my dollar
 Always had my nose to the grind
 So I missed all the signals
 I should have spent more time at home
 Now every other week my boy comes to visit
 When he leaves I feel so all alone
 It's a short drop to the bottom
 And a long climb to the top
 Some nights I feel the silence
 Of my whole world coming to a stop
 How did this ever happen
 It doesn't make any sense at all
 I spend my time anticipating
 Waiting for the other shoe to fall
 Went to see my boy play soccer
 Then I saw her across the field
 I felt my heart beat right through my chest
 Is this a dream or is it real
 I didn't want to believe it
 When I saw her in the stands
 It's been a long time since I've seen that smile
 She had her arms around another man
 It's a short drop to the bottom
 And a long climb to the top
 Some nights I feel the silence
 Of my whole world coming to a stop
 How did this ever happen
 It doesn't make any sense at all
 I spend my time anticipating
 Waiting for the other shoe to fall
 Sometimes I pick up the phone to call her
 When she answers I don't say a thing
 Sometimes it seems all we do is argue
 Sometimes I know she just lets it ring
