It's Okay to Cry
J Rice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know where to go from here,
cause anywhere that I go , you're there
so many streets, different names,
but they all lead to the same lonely place
And I don't know how to start again,
...don't even know where or how to begin

Cause when you're this low everywhere you try to go
looks like a dead end
And now that everything is over..

I'll cry, if I still hurt, I'll cry,
cause after I feel better,
It's to hard to keep inside
all the emotion I feel tonight
I'll cry, I'll cry,
It's so hard for another love,
finding yourselfe after you break up
( It's ok to cry )

Found [? ... ?]
I lost my balance when you let go,
I get up again, fall in love again, I gotta heal my soul
And when the past brings back the pain,
don't be afraid to face the rain
cause it don't wash away any trace of yesterday,
and you feel OK,
but after everything is over,
if I still hurt...

I'll cry, I'll cry,
It's to hard to keep inside
all the emotion I feel tonight
I'll cry, I'll cry,
It's so hard for another love,
finding yourselfe after you break up

A broken heart will stop the world from spinning,
a second chance will wait for you to start living again...
I'm maybe down but I ain't out forever,
I'm holding out for something so much better

but if I ever hurt...

I'll cry, I'll cry,
It's to hard to keep inside
all the emotion I feel tonight
I'll cry, I'll cry,
It's so hard for another love,
finding yourselfe after you break up

( It's OK to cry )




( It's OK to cry, to cry )
( It's OK to cry... )

Finding out that my fiance cheated on me is the worst feeling on top of that I am stationed overseas... As a soldier we try not to show emotion of hurt. I ended up breaking down in front of my squad as I see their wives/girlfriends pick them up. Then they told me its okay now to cry.

Almost 10 years and my ex wife cheated, so I had no choice, but to give her the boot. I also lost many little Goddaughters in the process of her wrong doing... It's depressing indeed.
