| You were 43 when you got the news
|
| Life will be changing, nothing we can do
|
| The clock is ticking now, all I can think about
|
| Is knowing I have to move on without you somehow
|
| And I just can’t believe that you’re the one who’s keeping it together
|
| As you hold my hand and say
|
| It’s okay to cry, it’s okay to fall apart
|
| You don’t have to try, to be strong when you are not
|
| And it may take some time to make sense of all your thoughts
|
| But don’t ever fight your tears 'cause there is freedom in every drop
|
| Sometimes the only way to heal a broken heart
|
| Is when we fall apart
|
| You ask me to sing some songs that I wrote
|
| But I can barely speak, can barely play a note
|
| All my tears rush in, falling on my strings
|
| And make the sound of these progressions have a different ring
|
| And I hate to say goodbye, knowing this will be the last time we’re together
|
| As you close your eyes and say
|
| It’s okay to cry, it’s okay to fall apart
|
| You don’t have to try, to be strong when you are not
|
| And it may take some time to make sense of all your thoughts
|
| But don’t ever fight your tears 'cause there is freedom in every drop
|
| Sometimes the only way to heal a broken heart
|
| Is when we fall apart, oh
|
| And you’ve got the gift of mercy, don’t ever think it’s strange
|
| Not a curse, but it is a blessing to feel other people’s pain
|
| And always love without condition and trust with all your heart
|
| There’s healing in the story of your scars
|
| Well, it’s been a while since you’ve been gone
|
| Sometimes I still catch myself trying to call your phone
|
| All the hopes and dreams we used to talk about
|
| They’re still alive in me and I just hope I make you proud
|
| Now I’m your legacy and it’s your love still holding me together
|
| And I still hear you say
|
| It’s okay to cry, it’s okay to fall apart
|
| You don’t have to try, to be strong when you are not
|
| And it may take some time to make sense of all your thoughts
|
| But don’t ever fight your tears 'cause there is freedom in every drop
|
| Sometimes the only way to heal a broken heart
|
| Is when we fall apart (Yeah, yeah, it’s okay to fall)
|
| Sometimes the only way to heal a broken heart
|
| Is when we fall apart |
