Hi Tony,
You have eloquently brought forth the emotion one would feel under these circumstances. There are plenty of people that can identify. No problem holding my attention. I particularly like your choice of words in the phrasing. Title drew me right in.. very good. I only see one or two tiney little things that might help the rhyme or flow for that verse, but wouldn't change a thing until I had music and melody. Your pre-chorus is absolutely PERFECT. It shouts out: Hey, guess what? Supprise! You've just been blind-sided. Very strong!
You have a great set of lyrics here Tony.
That's my openion and i'm stickin to it.
