Sorry For The Weather

Lyrics

Verse 1 Packed the cases in the hallway, loaded up the car, Dreaming of the coastline and forgetting who we are. My daughter sang a melody, my partner held my hand, But I was carrying a thunderstorm nobody could understand. The traffic crawled for hours, the sun was shining bright, Yet every little setback seemed to start another fight. I stared out of the window while the world rolled by so free, And the cloud I should’ve left at home came on holiday with me. Pre-Chorus I know the sea was calling, And I know you came to smile, But I dragged my worries with me Every single mile. Chorus So I’m sorry for the weather that I brought into the room, Sorry for the shadows in the middle of June. You deserved a holiday, laughter in the air, Not a man lost in his head worrying of money that wasn’t there To the woman that I love and the little girl I adore, I’m sorry for the mood swings and the slamming of the door. The rain was never yours to carry, it belonged to me, I’m sorry for the weather, but I’m trying to let it leave. Verse 2 We walked along the seafront, chips wrapped in paper white, My daughter chased the seagulls through the fading evening light. My partner caught my eye and said, “You’re somewhere else again,” And hearing it out loud felt like a punch beneath my skin. I thought about the moments that I almost threw away, The castle made of sand, the games we stopped to play. How many precious memories had slipped right through my hands, Because I was fighting battles nobody else had planned? Pre-Chorus I know you both were patient, Giving more than I could see, And every wave that reached the shore Was whispering to me. Chorus So I’m sorry for the weather that I brought into the room, Sorry for the shadows in the middle of June. You deserved a holiday, laughter in the air, Not a man lost in his head worrying of money that wasn’t there. To the woman that I love and the little girl I adore, I’m sorry for the mood swings and the slamming of the door. The rain was never yours to carry, it belonged to me, I’m sorry for the weather, but I’m trying to let it leave. Bridge My daughter took my hand and I could imagine she would say, “Come build a fort with me,” Like forgiveness was the easiest thing in history. My partner smiled beside us as the sunset painted gold, And suddenly the burden didn’t feel so hard to hold. Final Chorus I’m sorry for the weather that I brought into those days, For all the little moments hidden in the haze. But thank you for your patience when I couldn’t see the view, For loving me through storms I never meant to send to you. To the woman that I love and the little girl I adore, I’ll try to leave those mood swings on the other side of the door. And if the clouds come back again, I’ll tell them where to go, Because the best part of that holiday was the love that helped me grow. Outro The sea rolled on behind us, the night was calm and deep, And I made a silent promise I still intend to keep
