Story behind the song

Inspired by a dark and grey night on a bus ride home and as always the what if behind the story that image gave me.

Lyrics

Dark and Grey 
[2024/07/15] 

[Verse] 
Watching drops race down the window pane. 
Staring past them now out at the rain. 
Heavy drops bounce straight up off the ground. 
From where I sit they're void of any sound. 

[Bridge] 
It's dark and grey outside and in my heart. 
Reasons float around. Where should I start? 
The beginning then. When neither was to blame. 
It's dark and grey outside, I feel the same. 

[Verse] 
Making my way home as I do most nights. 
Always late and dark empty of light. 
Don't want to turn the key, cross that floor. 
Nothing shines from our home, not anymore. 

[Bridge repeats] 
It's dark and grey outside and in my heart. 
Why she's gone from me? Where should I start? 
The middle then when I guess I was to blame. 
It's dark and grey outside, I feel the same. 

[Break]

[Verse] 
A can of soup will do once it's warmed. 
Rain beats against the panes and door. 
The bulb above the stove hardly glows. 
Why's she's gone?  God only knows. 

[Bridge repeats] 
It's dark and grey outside and in my heart. 
Reason's float around where should I start? 
The end I guess, nothin' will be the same. 
It's dark and grey outside there in the rain. 

[Outro] 
Watching drops race down the window pane.
It's dark and grey outside. I feel the same.
