Bluegray - Role Model Lyrics

How can you tell me
How can you advise me
To not do the things I see you do
If you're my role model
That's what you're supposed to be
Then are you a role model of what not to be
I need something more than this
Or could you be helping me
By pushing me down
And pushing me down a path
So that I know why I'm the man I am
Or could it be for my own good
So that I'm not just a product
No, not a mindless mimic of a man
But I need something more than this
Because I can't figure it out for myself
My eyes shoot open
At every mistake I've ever done
And they close so gently
When I think of who I can become
And I think
And I thank you
And I think of you
And I'm thankful for you
