    Behind The Song: Ryan Stevenson Shares The Heart Behind His Song “When We Fall Apart”

    By Abby Carpenter | Uncategorized | 1 comment | 19 May, 2020 | 16

    This week’s featured song story comes to us from Ryan Stevenson. We’re excited to share with you the story behind his song “When We Fall Apart.”

    “I remember the last words my mom spoke to me. She said on her death bed in our last conversation, ‘don’t ever think that you need to have it all together. Don’t ever think that you need to fight back your tears because sometimes the only way we see clearly is when we look through our tears. Sometimes our greatest act of strength is really our weakness. It’s in our surrender. And sometimes the only way we heal is when we just let go, crumble and fall apart.’” – Ryan Stevenson

    From the upcoming album Wildest Dreams.

    “When We Fall Apart” Lyrics

    You were 43 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 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

    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 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

    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 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

      When we fall apart by Ryan Stevenson reminds me of what my father told me when my grandma passed. It was 3 years ago, I was 11 and I was so overwhelmed with the thought that my grandma had cancer and we would loose her. We were in the car about to go to church when it truly hit me, and my dad told me that it was ok to cry because it’s better to let it out then to keep it in. It just makes this song that much more special
