No Surprise (Album Version) Lyrics
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
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
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise
A kiss goodnight, it comes with me
Both wrong and right, our memories
The whispering before we sleep
Just one more thing that you can 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
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
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
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
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
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
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
I bet it's better than where we are now
But after going through this, it's easier to see the reason why
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
Both wrong and right, our memories
The whispering before we sleep
Just one more thing that you can keep
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

The lyrics here are wrong, somehow the lyrics are wrong. The passage "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" is only in the original version, written by Eric Dill, it's not in daughtry's song
definitely about realizing the perfect couple isn't so perfect after all and realizing they havent been perfect for a long time now. he's relieved
It could also be about your friends and yourself going you separate ways...That happened to me... :(
