It Comes As No Surprise

(album: Grace Street - 2017)

I'll leave when I don't understand
All the things I need
Will slip right through my hands
My love, please don't get too close
All the things I need to say
Just might make me choke

The anger in your eyes
It comes as no surprise

(It's gonna be alright)
Curled up on the floor
(It's gonna be alright)
Like so many times before
(It's gonna be alright)
I don't know how much more
(It's gonna be alright)
I can take my love
(It's gonna be alright)
I don't know which is worse
(It's gonna be alright)
Keep you on a pedestal
(It's gonna be alright)
Or let you fall to earth
(It's gonna be alright)

The anger in your eyes
It comes as no surprise
The laughter and the lies
It comes as no surprise

Fathers cry, and show you how
We learn to lie on our own somehow
And help always comes much too late
I've burst all my blisters
And learned how to miss her
Well, I guess it's no surprise

(It's gonna be alright)
(It's gonna be alright)
No surprise
(It's gonna be alright)
(It's gonna be alright)
It's no surprise
(It's gonna be alright)
(It's gonna be alright)

Well, it's no surprise, in joy and pain
When I close my eyes, I'm back again
In hell, I'll be fine on my own
There's no lessons I've learned
Only bridges I've burned
Why are you so surprised?
There's no surprise at all
Instead of sleeping I only lie
And I try to turn the nightmares into dreams
That will one day come true
Ah, you've pushed me to this
When you push, I resist
And you still seemed so surprised

(It's gonna be alright)
(It's gonna be alright)
(It's gonna be alright)
(It's gonna be alright)
(It's gonna be alright)
(It's gonna be alright)
(It's gonna be alright)
(It's gonna be)

The anger in your eyes
It comes as no surprise
The laughter and the lies
It comes as no surprise
