Perfect by Simple Plan
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 make you proud
I’m never gonna be good enough for you
Can’t pretend that I’m alright
and you can’t change me
Cause you lost it all
Nothin’ lasts forever
Im sorry, I cant 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 spent 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
Can’t stand another fight
and nothings alright
Cause we lost it all nothing lasts forever
I’m sorry, I cant be perfect
Now it’s just too late and we can’t go back
I’m sorry, I cant be perfect
Nothings gonna change the things that you said
Nothings 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
Cause we lost it all nothing lasts forever
Im 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 love this song. I think it explains how I feel all the time. Like I can never be good enough for my parents. I'll never be my sister but yet I'll never be my brother. I went in different directions than both of them and I suppose that after my brother turned out to be dense they found in me their last hope but yet i failed them. My grades aren't outstanding but they aren't horrid. My attitude isn't always perky and happy but it's not always depressed and morbid. I don't listen to rap but I listen to rock. My brother, sister, and I are like day, evening, and dark. I'm the dark.
