The force of gravity from the growing mass of the droplet will overcome the force of tension between the droplet and the surface the water tension is "holding" it to. Once gravity is larger than tension, the droplet falls to the ground.

What causes clouds to precipitate?

Clouds precipitate when water droplets or ice crystals within the cloud grow large enough to overcome the forces keeping them aloft, such as updrafts. Once the droplets or crystals become too heavy, they fall out of the cloud as precipitation, such as rain or snow.
