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
