The silence of night, street light through the window
I'm sitting here alone, me and my shadow
An empty glass and three more cigarettes
I've been here before, but this one's the toughest yet
My mind can't sleep, to forget about it all
I'm still here alone, me and my shadow
I wish I could remember before, the way I used to feel
I've written it down somewhere

Accidents will happen
Accidents will happen
Accidents will happen

I guess it's about time that I should be leaving, a change of scenery
Sitting here's just a no win guarantee
But first I'll draw the curtain, get some rest or sleep
Just a little time for me
I hope that you are watching, I hope that you can see me
From afar I look OK
With no thing really left and no need to be right
There's only dust coming down the centre of life
And I don't have a peaceful moment

Accidents will happen
(I fight, alive, I must)
Accidents will happen
(I'm down and broken)
(No use to fade or die)
Accidents will happen
(It would be hopeless)

Breathe with me, I try to awake you to stop you leave
I scream at the heavens, why won't you help me
I knew it was too late
No hope, no answer
Wish I had remembered to say
"I love you"

Accidents will happen
(I fight, alive, I must)
Accidents will happen
(I'm down and broken)
(No use to fade or die)
Accidents will happen
(It would be hopeless)
