It's Okay To Cry Lyrics

It's okay to cry

For a few minutes

A few hours, a few days

Weeks, months, years, a few forevers

Today is one of those days

Those days when I lament that my pain is as deep as the well of my joy

Where I'm reminded of the bags I've carried that

Numbed my shoulders and rubbed my palms raw

When I feel a little too much

When the Sun is a little too hot and the rain ain't cool enough

Where the clouds weep in my place when my tears have run dry

When the wind is gentle but the skies are gray as steel

When thoughts beat down my mind's door

But I don't have the space to welcome them in

When I regret I took my heart from my sleeve

And stitched it into every fiber of my body

When I wonder, why is this a part of living

When I feel so heavy 'cause I know I can't save you

From, one day, becoming a memory

Those days that show me how fragile, beautiful, and terrible life can be

I shed awful, tragic tears

I lash out at God in anger while begging to not be left in my misery

I ask, How can you watch me suffer

Why is the gift of my heart a curse that you've sentenced me with

Why do I feel so deeply

Heh...look at me questioning God, as if I know better

Rationality leaves me as I ration the last crumbs of my sanity

Crumb 1, Love lifts me to the highest mountains

And drags me to the depths of the ocean's floor

Crumb 2, I'm learning rock bottom has levels to it

Crumb 3, Life don't always make sense

And maybe it's not supposed to...at least, not all the time

Crumb 4, I only have a few crumbs left

So I won't speak anymore of it

But it's okay to cry

'Cause today is one of those days

One of those days where I must tell myself

Just keep on going, baby. Just keep on going
