Lyrics
[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
[PreChorus]
But I listened to the things they said
And I lost my way
Kind of 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, not gonna wait until I'm gone
[Verse 3]
What makes a man?
Someone who never feels like crying
Someone who's not afraid to die
Or to be alone
[PreChorus]
But I cried myself to sleep for years
Was about to break
Kind of 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, not gonna wait until I'm gone
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 4]
What makes a man?
Someone to be just like their father
Grow up and love somebody's daughter
And make him proud
