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 |
