Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
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 wrappin' 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 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 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 The kiss goodnight, it comes with me Both wright and wrong, 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
