(lyrics are written by Chris Daughtry)

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.
shouldnt have to give a reason why.

its no surprise i wont be here tomorrow.
i cant believe that i stayed till today.
and you and i will be a tough act to follow,
but i know in time, we will find that its no surprise.

it came out like a river once i let it out.
when i thought that i wouldnt know how.
held onto it forever just pushing it down.
felt so good to let go of it now.
not wrapping this in ribbons.
shouldnt have to give a reason why.

its no surprise i wont be here tomorrow.
i cant 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.
dont be surprise when we hate this tomorrow.
god know we tried to find an easier way.
and you and i will be a tough act to follow.
but i know in time we will find this is no surprise.

our favorite place we used to go.
the warm embrace that no one knows.
the loving look thats left your eyes.
was why this comes out as no, as no surprise.

if i could see the future and how this plays out.
i bet its better than where we are now.
but after going through this.
its easier to see the reason why.

its no surprise i wont be here tomorrow.
i cant believe that i stayed till today.
and you and i will be a tough act to follow.
but i know in time we will find this i no surprise.

our favorite place we used to go.
the warm embrace that no one knows.
the loving look thats left your eyes.
but i know in time we'll find this was no surprise.
