Marillion - An Accidental Man текст песни

(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

Theres 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 Im feeling

I only wish you knew

How hard it is for me to share

Share those kind of things with you

Its not that I dont love you

Its just I cant connect

cause I was taught from much too young

To shine and not reflect

Im an accidental man

You ask me if Im happy

I only wish I knew

cause happiness is not something

That I ever learned to do

Its not that Im complaining

Its all the same to me

If everything that happens, happens

Accidentally

Im an accidental man

I was taught for every secret

Theres 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 dont say all I can

A stranger to myself I am

An accidental man

Im an accident

Im an accidental man
