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 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 [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/d/daughtry/no_surprise.html ]
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 know 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
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
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
Wow, this song describes exactly what im goin through right now. Slowly through time my g/f slowly stopped loving me and when i started to realize it it was easier to see she had changed, and i found it was no suprise we would last any longer. And i cant believe we lasted so long lioe this. Its gonna be tough to get over but well both be better off. Thats what this song means and its exactly what im dealing with right now.

I'm just curious as to why the radio version of this song never includes the last chorus about :the kiss good night it comes with me... ". Maybe other stations play it, but the ones here in waco, tx never include it and i think it's a very important piece of the song. I love this song as it speaks volumes to anyone who has ever tried desparately to make a relationship work and discovered that they are alone in the attempt. Great job of song writing.

Love it absolutely love it!! Best song eva!! Nd i agree w tinker2424. Itz clearky bout a guy who decides hes had enough of a time wasting relationship.
They did it again!! Dughtry and the band never fail at their songs! I can't wait for their next song! Life after you is geniuse too!! All daughtry songz are geniuse!
This song is absolutely about a guy who finally decids to pull the plug on a slowly dying relationship. He can't believe how long he kept fighting and putting energy into something that was clear not to work. It's difficult to finally say goodbye but a wonderful relief as well. Been through it and it speaks volumes to me!
The guys breaking up w/ his girlfriend saying that hes leaving 2moro but that he knows theyve both seen this coming, it was just a matter of time, so its really no surprise. Awesome song from an awesome band!
