My daddy taught me, keep your chin up high

Take every hard hit, never ask them why

So I learned to hurt where nobody knew

Worked through the day like a man ought to do

But every old wound I buried down deep

Found me alone when I couldn't sleep

I held it in till I could take no more

Then one lonely night, it hit the floor

Let it fall, let it fall tonight

You don't have to hide every hurt from the light

A broken heart don't make a broken man

Sometimes you bend when you've done all you can

Let it fall, there's no shame at all

Even the strongest man gets tired standing tall

I've lost good people I still dream about

Loved someone hard, then watched love burn out

I've worn a smile when my whole world went gray

Told everybody I was doing okay

But holding it in never made me whole

It only put more weight on my soul

No one gets through every night alone

Even a hard heart can ache to the bone

Let it fall, let it fall tonight

You don't have to hide every hurt from the light

A broken heart don't make a broken man

Sometimes you bend when you've done all you can

Let it fall, there's no shame at all

Even the strongest man gets tired standing tall

If your hands are shaking, let them shake

If your heart is hurting, let it ache

You ain't losing who you are inside

You don't lose your strength when you finally cry

Let it fall, let it fall tonight

You don't have to carry every pain out of sight

A weary heart can still be a good man's heart

Even when life has pulled it apart

Let it fall, you don't have to stand tall

Sometimes healing starts when you let it fall
