When We Fall Apart

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 whose 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 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
 ♪
 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 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
 ♪
 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 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
 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 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
