What Makes a Man a Man Lyrics

Cover art for What Makes a Man a Man lyrics by Emery

This is about a man whose wife kills herself. "Forgive me, you are the only one" is actually "'Forgive me' were the only words they read on the note you left".

The song is about how this man is trying to live without his wife "I don’t really want to sing anymore, there’s got to be something I can live for"

I think "what makes a man a man" talks about even though his life seems meaningless, he isn't going to take the easy way out.
