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
