Not Sorry About the Sunshine

Verse

Last box taped shut by the kitchen light

Your key on the counter, catching bright

The driveway's empty where your car used to sit

Still warm from the sun, I'm standing in it

Packed up the winter, packed up the rain

Kept just the good parts, let go of the pain

You said the goodbye, I said okay

Then I stepped outside and the sky stayed grey a minute

Pre-Chorus

So what do I do with this ache and this gold

Half of me breaking, half of me bold

Tell me how both can be true

Chorus

I'm not sorry about the sunshine

Even now, even after you

Streets still gleam, gold on the windshield glass

Turns out I'm built to make it through

I'm not sorry about the sunshine

Watch it break right through

Verse

Three months later, different street, same me

Coffee shop window, I catch it easy

Somebody's laughing at a joke I can't hear

I used to need you to feel the light this clear

New shoes squeak on the warm concrete

I'm learning my name in a different key

The ache still visits, comes around at night

But morning keeps showing up right on time, right on time

Pre-Chorus

So what do I do with this ache and this gold

Half of me breaking, half of me bold

Tell me how both can be true

Chorus

I'm not sorry about the sunshine

Even now, even after you

Streets still gleam, gold on the windshield glass

Turns out I'm built to make it through

I'm not sorry about the sunshine

Watch it break right through

Bridge

Maybe the leaving was the door swinging wide

Maybe I needed the storm to find my stride

I'll keep the good parts, let the rest go grey

I'm not the same, and I'm okay

I'm okay

Chorus

I'm not sorry about the sunshine

Even now, even after you

Streets still gleam, gold on the windshield glass

Turns out I'm built to make it through

I'm not sorry about the sunshine

Not sorry at all

Watch it break right through
