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 whyIt'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
(And I hope...)
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 whyIt'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 sayDon'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(And I hope...)
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 whyIt's no surprise, I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
(Stay till today...)
Yeah, you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surpriseThe 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
(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 surpriseAnd I hope... 5x
