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
Sam's voice rang out in the glee room, all eyes on him. Quinn felt tears run down her face and fall in her hands.
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 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
Quinn looked Sam in the eyes, pleading. He didn't stop singing.
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
Sam sat down, Quinn stared at the back of his head, trying to silence the sobs that threatened to rise up.
"Sam," she whispered. She wouldn't look at her.
"Sam," she pleaded quietly.
"Quinn, give it a rest," Sam whispered under his breath.
Quinn felt her tears run faster.
What had she done?
She ran after him in the hallway after school and rested a hand on his shoulder in desperation. He yanked his shoulder away and when she saw his eyes, they were tear-filled.
She cried even harder, and stared blindly after him.
Damn, why'd she have to hurt Sam?
Maybe Sam was angry at her because she made him fall in love her...
...but Sam made her fall for him.
