|
I was taught from much too young |
|
To never give myself away |
|
Yes I was taught for every secret |
|
There's a price you have to pay |
|
An accident of gender |
|
An accident of birth |
|
That holds me to this point of view |
|
This time and place on earth |
|
This time and place on earth |
|
You ask me how I'm feeling |
|
I only wish you knew |
|
How hard it is for me to share |
|
Share those kind of things with you |
|
It's not that I don't love you |
|
It's just I can't connect |
|
'Cause I was taught from much too young |
|
To shine and not reflect |
|
I'm an accidental man |
|
You ask me if I'm happy |
|
I only wish I knew |
|
'Cause happiness is not something |
|
That I ever learned to do |
|
It's not that I'm complaining |
|
It's all the same to me |
|
If everything that happens, happens accidentally |
|
I'm an accidental man |
|
I was taught for every secret |
|
There's a price you have to pay |
|
I was taught from much too young |
|
To never give myself away |
|
I was born to worthy causes |
|
I was born to take the reins |
|
I was taught from much too young |
|
To never give myself away |
|
An accident of gender |
|
An accident of birth |
|
That holds me to this point of view |
|
This time and place on earth |
|
So try and understand |
|
If I don't say all I can |
|
A stranger to myself I am |
|
An accidental man |
|
I'm an accident |
|
I'm an accidental man |
