Marillion - An Accidental Man lyrics

(music: marillion lyrics: john helmer) I was taught from the 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 To shine and not reflect I'm an accidental man You ask me if i'm happy I only wish i knew 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 thought 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
