"It's Okay to Cry" Lyrics

Somewhere along the way we're taught to keep it all together
We mask the pain we feel inside to make everyone else feel better
You wrap your arms around yourself and bury all your sorrow
You can't hide from your emotions, baby, they'll still be here tomorrow
If your heart won't let it flow I want you to know.

Chorus:
It's okay to cry (everybody's gotta hurt sometimes)
Let those teardrops fly (don't even try to dry your eyes)
Don't keep it all inside (in the morning it'll be alright)
It's okay to cry.

First you've got to fall apart to pick up all the pieces
If you don't learn to let it go the pain inside increases
It takes more strength to hold it in than to give in and surrender
Why's the first thing that we learn the last thing we remember
Baby, tears don't make you weak if I could only make you see.

Chorus:
It's okay to cry (everybody's gotta hurt sometimes)
Let those teardrops fly (don't even try to dry your eyes)
Don't keep it all inside (in the morning it'll be alright)
It's okay to cry.

It ain't nothing at all
Sometimes you've got to break down and let them fall
Baby, that's true, oh.

Chorus:
It's okay to cry (everybody's gotta hurt sometimes
Let those teardrops fly (don't even try to dry your eyes)
Don't keep it all inside (in the morning it'll be alright)
It's okay to cry.

It's okay to cry, ohhhh...
