Verse (as intro) 
===== 
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 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
