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 
 
The kiss goodnight, it comes with me 
Both wrong and right, our memories 
The whispering before we sleep, just one more thing that 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
