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
