No Surprise
Daughtry(道奇樂團) Lyrics

I've practiced this for hours, gone round and round
I've put a lot of effort into this, worked through it repeatedly

And now I think that I've got it all down
And now I believe that I understand it completely

And as I say it louder, I love how it sounds
And as I say it louder, I'm proud of what I'm saying and how it sounds

'Cause I'm not taking the easy way out
Because I'm not taking the convenient path

Not wrappin' this in ribbons
Not trying to make this seem prettier than it is

Shouldn't have to give a reason why
I shouldn't have to explain myself

It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
It's not shocking that I won't be present tomorrow

I can't believe that I stayed till today
I can't believe I've been present until now

Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
You and I will be difficult to surpass

But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise
But eventually, we'll realize that this wasn't surprising

It came out like a river once I let it out
Once I finally expressed it, it flowed out of me like a river

When I thought that I wouldn't know how
When I felt like I wouldn't be able to articulate it

Held onto it forever, just pushing it down
I kept it inside for a long time, suppressing it

Felt so good to let go of it now
It felt amazing to finally let it out and release it

There's nothing here in this heart left to borrow
There's nothing remaining in my heart for others to draw from

There's nothing here in this soul left to say
There's nothing left within my soul to express

Don't be surprised when we hate this tomorrow
Don't be shocked if we end up disliking this decision tomorrow

God knows we tried to find an easier way
We attempted to find a simpler solution, but it didn't pan out

The kiss goodnight, it comes with me
The goodnight kiss will stay with me

Both wright and wrong, our memories
Our memories consist of both positive and negative moments

The whispering before we sleep,
The soft talking before we rest

Just one more thing that you can't keep
One more thing that you can't hold onto

If I could see the future and how this plays out
If I had the ability to predict the future and the resolution

I bet it's better than where we are now
I'm sure it's superior to our current situation

But after going through this
But after experiencing this situation

It's easier to see the reason why
It's more apparent why things played out the way they did

Our favorite place we used to go
Our preferred location that we used to frequent

The warm embrace that no one knows
The comforting embrace that nobody else is aware of

The loving look that's left your eyes
The affectionate gaze that remains in your eyes

That's why this comes as no, as no surprise
That's why this doesn't come as a surprise
