Song Lyrics

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 end you read 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, don't know which is worse (it's gonna be alright)
Keep you on a pedestal (it's gonna be alright)
Let you fall to earth (it's gonna be alright)

The end you read 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)

No surprise
It's no surprise
Well, it's no surprise, enjoy your pain
When I close my eye back again and hell
I'll be fine on my own
There's no lessons I've learned, only bridges I've burned
And 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 one day come true

You've pushed me to listen
You pushed, I resisted
Still seem 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 end you read your eyes
It comes as no surprise
The laughter and the lies
It comes as no surprise
