No Surprise

And I hope

And I hope

I've practiced this for hours, gone 'round and 'round

And now I think that I've got it all down

And as I say it louder, I love how it sounds

'Cause I'm not taking the easy way out

Not wrapping this in ribbons

Shouldn't have to give a reason why

It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow

I can't believe that I stayed 'til today

Yeah, you and I will be a tough act to follow

But I know in time, we'll find this was no surprise

It came out like a river once I let it out

When I thought that I wouldn't know how

Held onto it forever just pushing it down

Felt so good to let go of it now

Not wrapping this in ribbons

Shouldn't have to give a reason why

It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow

I can't believe that I stayed 'til today

There's nothing here in this heart left to borrow

There's nothing here in this soul left to say

Don't be surprised when we hate this tomorrow

God knows we tried to find an easier way

Yeah, you and I will be a tough act to follow

But I know in time, we'll find this was no surprise

Our favorite place we used to go

The warm embrace that no one knows

The loving look that's left your eyes

That's why this comes as no, as no surprise

If I could see the future and how this plays out

I bet it's better than where we are now

But after going through this

It's easier to see the reason why

It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow

I can't believe that I stayed 'til today (stay 'til today)

Yeah, you and I will be a tough act to follow

But I know in time, we'll find this was no surprise

The kiss goodnight, it comes with me

Both wrong and right, our memories (our memories)

The whispering before we sleep

Just one more thing that you can't keep (you can't keep)

Our favorite place we used to go

The warm embrace that no one knows

The loving look that's left your eyes

But I know in time, we'll find this was no surprise

And I hope

And I hope

And I hope

And I hope

And I hope
