Lyrics
[Intro]
News travels faster than the heart can take
One moment normal, then the whole world shakes
No warnings written in the air
Just an empty space where life was there
We say “tomorrow,” we say “next time”
Thinking we still got all this time
Didn’t know how thin it gets
Between a breath and nothing left
[Pre Chorus]
Some things leave without a sign
No chance to read between the lines
[Chorus]
Unexpected death, it comes too fast
Turns the present into the past
Leaves us holding what was said
And all the things we never meant
It don’t knock, it don’t explain
Just rearranges all our days
Unexpected death reminds us then
That life is now, not “when”
[Verse]
Crowded rooms still feel alone
When someone’s missing from the tone
Life keeps moving, clocks don’t care
Grief just lingers everywhere
We learn to smile, we learn to cope
Carry love like fragile hope
Every name, every face
Leaves a mark we can’t replace
[Pre Chorus]
We don’t choose the how or when
We just learn to live again
[Final Chorus]
Unexpected death, it comes too fast
Turns the present into the past
Leaves us holding what was said
And all the things we never meant
It don’t knock, it don’t explain
Just rearranges all our days
Unexpected death reminds us then
That life is now, not “when”
[Bridge]
If there’s meaning in the pain
It’s love that still remains
So say it now, don’t wait
Hold on while you can
[Outro]
Nothing promised, nothing kept
That’s the truth we’re left to accept
Unexpected death…
Teaches us to live what’s left
Style
