What Makes a Man

[Verse 1]
What makes a man?
Someone to be just like their father
Grow up and love somebody's daughter
And make him proud

[Verse 2]
I don't understand
I tend to relate more to my mother
Everyone said when I was younger
That I'd come around

[Pre-Chorus]
But I listened to the things they said, and I lost my way
Kinda believed I should be someone else, not myself
Oh, and nothing has changed
Maybe it's too late

[Chorus]
Been holding back for way too long (Been holding, been holding)
I made mistakes, but I'm moving on (I'm moving on)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, not gonna wait until I'm gone

[Verse 2]
What makes a man?
Someone who never feels like crying
Someone who's not afraid to die
Or to be alone

[Pre-Chorus]
But I cried myself to sleep for years, was about to break
Kinda believed I should be someone else, not myself
Oh, and nothing has changed
Maybe it's too late

[Chorus]
Been holding back for way too long (Been holding, been holding)
I made mistakes, but I'm moving on (I'm moving on)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, not gonna wait until I'm gone

[Post-Chorus]
Until I'm gone (Not gonna wait, not gonna wait, not gonna wait)
Until I'm gone (Not gonna wait, not gonna wait, not gonna wait)
Until I'm gone (Not gonna wait, not gonna wait, not gonna wait)
Not gonna wait until I'm gone

[Outro]
What makes a man?
Someone to be just like their father
Grow up and love somebody's daughter
And make him proud
