Ok to Cry
Embracing Vulnerability: It's Okay to Cry
Lyrics
I been keepin thangs in the shadow of my mind for some time for a little too long
Keeping emotions hidden in my mind for too long
Let nobody in, don't know what ya gonna find, even if I did, wouldn't stay long
Refusing to let anyone in, uncertain about what will be discovered, and not willing to stay vulnerable
Cause I got a garden of secrets
Metaphorical reference to having many secrets
That I been keepin
Continuing to conceal those secrets
You just gotta let me work on it
Asking for space and time to work on personal growth and recovery
I'm findin my healin
Discovering ways to heal
Gimme time gimme time
Requesting time for self-reflection and healing
And I try to tell myself it's ok, it's ok, it's ok
Self-assurance and reassurance that it's alright to feel emotions
Sometimes I need to be in the moment
Recognizing the importance of being present in the current emotions
And feel what I'm feelin yea
Valuing the experience of feeling emotions deeply
It's hard when you trying to survive
Struggling through difficult situations
It's ok to cry
Encouragement that it's acceptable to express vulnerability and cry
You ain't gotta be strong all the time
Emphasizing it's not necessary to be strong constantly
Just get by
Just surviving, getting through tough times
If no one told you, it's ok to cry
Reassuring that it's permissible to express emotions through tears
I always put my all in
Putting effort into supporting loved ones
Just to see the ones I love win
Desire to witness loved ones succeed
But who is there for me
Questioning who supports when personal emotional support is needed
When I could use a shoulder to cry on
Seeking comfort when feeling vulnerable
I don't really like to ask for help
Disinclination to ask for assistance
I guess I'm selfish that way
Acknowledging a tendency to be self-centered in some aspects
Don't know why I'm guardin these demons
Uncertainty about guarding internal struggles
Gimme some time
Requesting more time to deal with inner conflicts
And I try to tell myself it's ok, it's ok, it's ok
Self-reassurance regarding emotions
Sometimes I need to be in the moment
Understanding the importance of living in the moment
And feel what I'm feelin yea
Valuing the experience of feeling emotions deeply (repeated)
It's hard when you trying to survive
Expressing the difficulty of surviving tough situations
it's ok to cry
Encouraging the acceptance of vulnerability and tears
You ain't gotta be strong all the time
Reiterating that continuous strength isn't necessary
Just get by
Surviving through challenges (repeated)
If no one told you, it's ok to cry
Encouraging the acceptance of vulnerability and tears (repeated)
It's hard when you trying to survive
Expressing the challenge of surviving tough situations (repeated)
It's ok to cry
Reassurance that it's okay to express emotions through tears (repeated)
You ain't gotta be strong all the time
Reiterating that continuous strength isn't necessary (repeated)
Just get by
Getting through tough times (repeated)
If no one told you, it's ok to cry
Encouragement that it's permissible to express emotions through tears (repeated)
