成功帶領樂團登上全美主流搖滾樂壇的巔峰。
這首歌曲的創作靈感，
源於一段在關係中早已預見破滅的無奈心境。

不如坦然面對破碎的勇氣。
歌詞翻譯
[Verse 1]
I've practiced this for hours, gon' 'round and 'round
我已經為了這一刻練習了好幾個小時，在原地不斷打轉
And now I think that I've got it all down
而現在我想我已經做好準備，一切都了然於胸
And as I say it louder, I love how it sounds
當我大聲說出來時，我很喜歡這句話聽起來的感覺
'Cause I'm not taking the easy way out
因為我不會選擇那條輕鬆逃避的捷徑
Not wrappin' this in ribbons
不會再用華麗的謊言將這段關係包裝
Shouldn't have to give a reason why
我不應該還要找藉口去解釋為什麼
[Chorus]
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
我不打算留在明天，這對你來說一點也不意外
I can't believe that I stayed till today
我自己都無法相信，我竟然會留到今天
Yeah, you and I will be a tough act to follow
沒錯，你我之間這段過去將會成為一段難以超越的殘局
But I know in time, we'll find this was no surprise
但我知道隨著時間推移，我們終會發現這一切並不意外
[Verse 2]
It came out like a river, once I let it out
就像河流潰堤一樣，一旦我徹底釋放了這些情緒
When I thought that I wouldn't know how
那曾經是我以為自己根本不知道該如何面對的時刻
Held onto it forever, just pushing it down
我曾死死抓住這份痛苦，只是不斷地將它壓抑在心底
It felt so good to let go of it now
現在終於選擇放下，感覺真的好多了
Not wrapping this in ribbons
不會再用華麗的謊言將這段關係包裝
Shouldn't have to give a reason why
我不應該還要找藉口去解釋為什麼
[Chorus]
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
我不打算留在明天，這對你來說一點也不意外
I can't believe that I stayed till today
我自己都無法相信，我竟然會留到今天
There's nothing here in this heart left to borrow
我這顆心裡已經沒有剩下任何東西可以讓你索取
There's nothing here in this soul left to save
我這靈魂裡也沒有什麼東西值得被救贖
Don't be surprised when we hate this tomorrow
當明天我們開始厭惡這一切時，別感到驚訝
God knows we tried to find an easier way
老天知道我們曾經試圖找到一條更容易走的路
Yeah, you and I will be a tough act to follow
沒錯，你我之間這段過去將會成為一段難以超越的殘局
But I know in time, we'll find this was no surprise
但我知道隨著時間推移，我們終會發現這一切並不意外
[Bridge]
Our favorite place we used to go
我們曾經最愛去的那個地方
The warm embrace that no one knows
那個沒人知曉的溫暖擁抱
The lovin' look that's left your eyes
那種從你眼中消失的深情眼神
That's why this comes as no, as no surprise
這就是為什麼這一切對我來說，一點也不意外
[Verse 3]
If I could see the future and how this plays out
如果我能預知未來，知道這一切將如何收場
I bet it's better than where we are now
我敢打賭，結局絕對會比我們現在的處境更好
But after going through this
但在經歷了這一切之後
It's easier to see the reason why
去理解箇中原因變得更加簡單了
[Chorus]
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
我不打算留在明天，這對你來說一點也不意外
I can't believe that I stayed till today (Stayed till today)
我自己都無法相信，我竟然會留到今天
Yeah, you and I will be a tough act to follow
沒錯，你我之間這段過去將會成為一段難以超越的殘局
But I know in time, we'll find this was no surprise
但我知道隨著時間推移，我們終會發現這一切並不意外
[Outro]
The kiss goodnight, it comes with me
那晚安吻，將會隨我而去
Both wrong and right, our memories (our memories)
是非對錯，都將成為我們的回憶
The whispering before we sleep
睡前那輕聲的呢喃
Just one more thing that you can't keep (you can't keep)
不過是又一件你再也無法留住的事物
Our favorite place we used to go
我們曾經最愛去的那個地方
The warm embrace that no one knows
那個沒人知曉的溫暖擁抱
The loving look that's left your eyes
那種從你眼中消失的深情眼神
But I know in time, we'll find this was no surprise
但我知道隨著時間推移，我們終會發現這一切並不意外
