I know it’s been so long
I probably should have known
That you would turn up gone
today
And I cannot forget
The weakness of my bet
And I would soon regret
My play
Cause I was living in the past
When we were falling fast
And looking at the last
Replay
But you were talking straight
My move had been to late
And we could only wait
And pray
(Chorus)
And I’m always surprised
At everything you tell me
When I see you
And I’m always surprised
By everything you say
The rain was falling down
So hard we could have drowned
and we didn’t make a sound
That’s true
You climbed into you car
But you wouldn’t get to far
Cause it showed every scar
On you
You drove off in the night
I watched the fading light
As the sky had turned from white
To blue
I fell into my bed
With the dreams of things you said
And the paths that could have led
To you
(Chorus)
And I’m always surprised
By everything you show me
When I’m with you
And I’m always surprised
By everything you do
And now I just collide
With all the thoughts I hide
And I am left here wide
Awake
Thinking every thought
Of all the things you brought
And the things that you forgot
To take
And when you tried say good bye
I thought It sounded like a lie
But that was always my
Mistake
And Now I sing this song
But the Melody’s all wrong
And the verses are to long
To take
Chorus
And I’m always surprised
At everything you shatter
As you leave me
And I’m always surprised
By everything you break
