Somewhere along the way, we talked to keep it all together
We masked 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

It's okay to cry
(Everybody's gotta hurt sometime)
Let those tear drops fly
(Don't even try to dry your eye)
Don't keep it all inside
(In the mornin' it'll be alright)
It's okay to cry

First you gotta 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

It's okay to cry
(Everybody's gotta hurt sometime)
Let those tear drops fly
(Don't even try to dry your eye)
Don't keep it all inside
(In the mornin' it'll be alright)
It's okay to cry

It ain't nothing at all
Sometimes you gotta break down
And let 'em fall
Baby, that's true

Ohh, it's okay to cry
(Everybody's gotta hurt sometime)
Let those teardrops fly
(Don't even try to dry your eye)
Don't keep it all inside
(In the mornin' it'll be alright)
It's okay to cry, it's okay to cry, ohh
