Ryan Nealon - What Makes a Man Lyrics

What makes a man
Someone to be just like their father
Grow up and love somebody's daughter
And make him proud
I don't understand
I tend to relate more to my mother
Everyone said when I was younger
That I'd come around
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
Been holding back for way too long
I made mistakes but I'm moving on
Oh, not gonna wait until I'm gone
What makes a man
Someone who never feels like crying
Someone who's not afraid to die
Or to be alone
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
Been holding back for way too long
I made mistakes but I'm moving on
Oh, not gonna wait until I'm gone
Until I'm gone
Until I'm gone
Until I'm gone
Not gonna wait until I'm gone
What makes a man
Someone to be just like their father
Grow up and love somebody's daughter
And make him proud

What makes a man
Someone to be just like their father
Grow up and love somebody's daughter
And make him proud
I don't understand
I tend to relate more to my mother
Everyone said when I was younger
That I'd come around
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
Been holding back for way too long
I made mistakes but I'm moving on
Oh, not gonna wait until I'm gone
What makes a man
Someone who never feels like crying
Someone who's not afraid to die
Or to be alone
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
Been holding back for way too long
I made mistakes but I'm moving on
Oh, not gonna wait until I'm gone
Until I'm gone
Until I'm gone
Until I'm gone
Not gonna wait until I'm gone
What makes a man
Someone to be just like their father
Grow up and love somebody's daughter
And make him proud
