Lyrics

Unexpected

[Verse 1]

Cut out your pictures now, I know that you are near

Tack them into the frame for now, as I know that you'll be here

It's not just me you know, there's a lot of ruined smiles

And I remain so strong for them, even though

I'm burst inside

[Chorus]

It was unexpected

But I always should have known

That you would lead a shortened life cause your light was running low

[Verse 2]

Felt I was one with you, and you reassured my head

Didn't seem the same when you were lying in your bed

No trips to our secret place since you left me on my own

You said that you would never leave and your soul would linger on

[Chorus]

It was unexpected

But I always should have known

That you would lead a shortened life as your light was running low

[Verse 3]

You should have told me when

When you decided to give in

I wasn't ready for the blow

And now my sun has turned to snow

[Outro]

Cut out your pictures now I know that you are near

Tack them into the frame for now, as I know you won't be here
