Manners Making Man Lyrics

Speaking in lines

Half of my life

I picked up the script as I took to the stage

Barely on time

Or lagging behind

I'm keeping up

But I'm acting my age

Oh it's so tiring these

Unwritten rules

When you play

It's so easy to lose

Getting it right?

One day I might

say what I mean without

Causing offence

Give and receive

Earn my reprieve

Influence people and

Make new friends

Oh it's so tiring these

Unwritten rules

When you play

It's so easy to lose

Why did we make it so hard to relate, I'm

Reading the score as it stands

All the exceptions and complications

I'm still so far, so far

From manners making man

Overthink what I say

Every day

I'll even rehearse

And I'll still get it wrong

How can you find

All the words in your mind?

Expressions elude me

Like lyrics in songs

Oh it's so tiring these

Unwritten rules

When you play

It's so easy to lose

Why did we make it so hard to relate, I'm

Reading the score as it stands

Oh well can't you see that

This is who'll I'll be and

This mask doesn't fit me

Why did we make it so hard to relate, I'm

Reading the score as it stands

All the exceptions and complications

All the exceptions and complications

All the exceptions and complications

I'm still so far

From manners making man
