When We Fall Apart (feat. Vince Gill & Amy Grant)

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 And I can barely speak 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 Whoa-ooh-whoa-ooh-whoa And you've got the gift of mercy Don't ever think it's strange Yeah, not a curse, but it is a blessing to feel other people's pain Always love without condition Trust the Lord 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 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
