about

As my grandma would tell me... "don't hold onto sad feelings... let it out... have a good cry."

Americana Highways Review: "The familiar bittersweet release of catharsis is poignantly portrayed here in this song by Betty Reed. Don’t mistake tears for weakness. “Let it out and start again.” It’s such good advice, and so beautifully delivered."

lyrics

I’m afraid sometimes
When hurt comes from the inside
Just like a natural flow of a storm
Tears are meant tears are meant to be born

Let it out let it out let it out don’t hold it in
Let it out let it out let it out and start again
So baby cry your tears at night, don’t hold them inside
Let it out let it out let it out don’t hold it in
Let it out let it out let it out and start again

You mistake tears for weakness
But I’ll let you in on a secret
The strongest people I know shed weathered tears
They can show their emotions without fear

Let it out let it out let it out don’t hold it in
Let it out let it out let it out and start again
So baby cry your tears at night, don’t hold them inside
Let it out let it out let it out don’t hold it in
Let it out let it out let it out and start again

It’s okay not to be okay
Let the waves roll over
Have those days, have those days
Find your way to my shoulder

Let it out let it out let it out don’t hold it in
Let it out let it out let it out and start again
So baby cry your tears at night, don’t hold them inside
Let it out let it out let it out don’t hold it in
Let it out let it out let it out and start again

Let it out let it out let it out
Let it out let it out let it out
