Torn Lingual Frenulum - will it heal on its own?

I was playing around and then I got hit by something when I was opening my mouth and my lingual frenulum was torned. It bled for couple minutes. If I pull my tongues up a bit, the tear was around 2mm. Would it heal on its own and do I have to do anything about it? Thanks in advance
