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
