When We Fall Apart Lyrics
You were forty-three 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 whose keeping it together
As you hold my hand and say
It’s ok to cry
It’s ok 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
Can 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 ok to cry
It’s ok 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
And you’ve got the gift of mercy
Don’t ever think it’s strange
Not a curse, but it is a blessing to feel other people’s pain
And always love without condition
And 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 ok to cry
It’s ok to fall apart
You don’t have to try
To be strong when you are not
And it may take sometime 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

It seems you are writing about your mother’s death and having to deal with it, but instead of giving in to taking your life with medication you choose to read scripture and give it to God. He is helping you through by remembering your mother’s words. Very sad. I’m sorry. It’s hard.
My mom has stage 4 cancer. It has moved again. A new treatment, a new direction, hope this one will work, then it seems all is good. It moves again and all over we begin. It is getting hard for her to try again. Wants Jesus to come and her to end, but she keeps on trying. She keeps on. I have to watch her struggles it’s hard. She’s still here, but for how long? I hate to watch her struggle. Still don’t want her to go…
