When We Fall Apart

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You were forty-three when you got the news Life will be changin', nothing we can do The clock is tickin' now, all I can think about Is knowin' I have to move on without you somehow And I just can't believe that you're the one who's keepin' it together As you hold my hand and say [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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, fallin' on my strings And make the sound of these progressions have a different ring And I hate to say goodbye knowin' this will be the last time we're together As you close your eyes and say [Chorus] 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, woah, woah, woah [Bridge] 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 healin' in the story of your scars [Verse 3] Well, it's been a while since you've been gone And sometimes I still catch myself tryna 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 holdin' me together And I still hear you say [Chorus] It's okay to cry, it's okay to fall apart (Oh) 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
