Intro

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 till 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 till 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 know 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 till today

 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

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