Every now and then I need to be told
That I'm ok
Because I forget
Every now and then I need to be loved
Just so I know
That I still can be
Every now and then I need to be held
And let a tear drop
Without needing to explain
For it to be ok for it to be not ok
Every now and then I need to die a little
So I remember that I'm alive
Shed my old bruised skin
And emerge new and innocent
Every now and then
