[Verse 1]

I've practiced this for hours, gon' '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 wrappin' this in ribbons

Shouldn't have to give a reason why

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

It felt so good to let go of it now

Not wrapping this in ribbons

Shouldn't have to give a reason why

[Chorus]

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 save

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

[Bridge]

Our favorite place we used to go

The warm embrace that no one knows

The lovin' look that's left your eyes

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

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

I can't believe that I stayed till today (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

[Outro]

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
