Simple Plan -- 'Perfect'

Hey dad look at me
Think back and talk to me
Did I grow up according to plan?
And do you think I'm
wasting my time doing
things I wanna do?
'but it hurts when you
disapprove all along

And now I try hard to make it
I just wanna to make you proud
I'm never gonna be
good enough for you
I can't pretend that
I'm alright
And you can't change me

'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect

I try not to think
About the pain I feel inside
Did you know you used
to be my hero?
All the days you spend with me
Now seem so far away
And it feels like you
don't care anymore

And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be
good enough for you
I can't stand another fight
And nothing's alright

'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect

Nothing's gonna change
the things that you
said
Nothing's gonna make
this right again
Please don't turn your back
I can't believe it's hard
Just to talk to you
But you don't understand

'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect

'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
