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.
