Accidental Nostalgia
If I'm going to get a new skin
And try to begin again
I'm going to have to shed
The one I've got on, the one I've got on
Why when it's caused me such pain
Am I afraid to say
Goodbye to all that I used to be?
Cuz a sacrifice is a sacrifice
Even when it's a sacrifice of pain and suffering
It's like sliding down a slippery slope
And there's no ground, there's nothing but hope
So heeeeeeeeere I go!
Naaaaaaaaaaked as the day I was booooorn, oh no!

So suddenly there is this
New surprising kind of sadness
A heartache of a snake
Shedding its skin, shedding its skin
Why is it a fearful thing
To leave where I have been
When it will be better where I'm going?
Cuz a loss is a loss
Even when it's a loss of pain and suffering
It's like a nostalgia that is accidental
From the safety of pain to unknown terrain
So heeeeeeere I go!
Naaaaaaaaked as the day I was booooooooorn, oh no!
