Why you gotta act so strong
Go ahead, and take off your brave face
Why you telling me nothing’s wrong
It’s obvious you’re not in a good place
Who’s telling you to keep it all inside
And never let those feelings get past the corner of your eye

You don’t need to run
You don’t to need to speak
Baby, take some time
Let those prayers roll down your cheek
It may be tomorrow, you’ll be past the sorrow
But tonight, it’s alright
Just cry

I know you know your Sunday songs
A dozen verses by memory – yeah, they’re good, but
Life is hard, and days get long – you gotta know
God can handle your honesty
So feel the things you’re feeling, name your fears and doubts
Don’t stuff your shame and sadness, loneliness and anger
Let it out, let it out

It doesn’t mean you don’t trust Him
It doesn’t mean you don’t believe
It doesn’t mean you don’t know He’s redeeming everything
