Verso 1

You were forty three
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
Whose keeping it together
As You hold my hand and say

Refrão

It's ok to cry
It's ok to fall apart
You don't have to try
To be strong when You are not
And it may take sometime
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

Verso 2

You ask me to sing
Some songs that I wrote
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

Refrão

It's ok to cry
It's ok to fall apart
You don't have to try
To be strong when You are not
And it may take sometime
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

Ponte

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

Verso 3

Well it's been awhile
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

Refrão

It's ok to cry
It's ok to fall apart
You don't have to try
To be strong when You are not
And it may take sometime
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

Repete

Sometimes the only way
To heal a broken heart
Is when we fall apart
