[Verse 1]
I'm feeling better now
I got the salt out of my eyes
It's like I couldn't get it out
I didn't want to let loose the truth inside
But I don't want to pretend I feel strong
Everybody here's got a problem
Why don't we dance to a sad song?

[Chorus]
Tears will dry
So, it's okay to cry

[Verse 2]
But my emotions
They knew my mind better than me
I cried oceans
So, you can surf right on my cheeks
And now I'm down and next to Poseidon
If you need a shoulder to cry on
Why don't we all sing to a sad song

[Chorus]
Tears will dry
So, it's okay to cry
Tears will dry
So, it's okay to cry
[Post-Chorus]
Tears will dry
And turn into laughter
Let's live happily ever after
Tears will dry
And turn into laughter
Let's live happily

[Bridge]
Don't hold back the waterworks
Why pretend you don't get hurt?
Don't hold back the waterworks
Happiness is quite absurd
Don't hold back the waterworks
Why pretend you don't get hurt?
Don't hold back the waterworks
Happiness is quite absurd

[Chorus]
So, don't hold
Oh, woah
Tears will dry
So, it's okay to cry

[Post-Chorus]
Tears will dry
And turn into laughter
Let's live happily ever after
Tears will dry
And turn into laughter
It's okay to cry
Tears will dry
And turn into laughter
Let's live happily ever after
Tears will dry
And turn into laughter
Let's live happily
