[Verse 1]
I met bad faith at the door
Wore a grin like a bruise
Said, "You can stay here if you want"
But I got bills to lose
They point a finger, talk real loud
Then fold when work shows up
I used to let that poison sit
Now I pour it in a cup
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I learned what I won't be
From every empty mouth
I learned where the truth gets buried
And how to drag it out
[Chorus]
Thank you, bad weather
You showed me the road
Thank you, bad weather
You made me want more
Negativity
Shows me the no
Negative people
Teach me to grow
(teach me to grow)
[Verse 2]
They complain in a borrowed chair
Won't lift a single hand
Talk big about the dream they had
But can't draw a line in sand
I watched that rot from the corner
Turn a strong man thin
So I took the weight they dropped
And turned that loss to skin
[Pre-Chorus]
Now every sharp word hits me
Like a whetstone on steel
It tells me where I'm sloppy
And what I need to heal
[Chorus]
Thank you, bad weather
You showed me the road
Thank you, bad weather
You made me want more
Negativity
Shows me the no
Negative people
Teach me to grow
(teach me to grow)
[Bridge]
If you want my praise, bring labor
If you want my time, bring truth
I can bless the hard lesson
But I won't live like you
[Chorus]
Thank you, bad weather
You showed me the road
Thank you, bad weather
You made me want more
Negativity
Shows me the no
Negative people
Teach me to grow
(teach me to grow)
