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 want to do? But it hurts when you disapprove all along 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 pretend that I'm all right And you can't change me 'Cause 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 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 nothing's alright 'Cause we lost it all And 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 And 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 (you don't understand) 'Cause we lost it all And 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 'Cause we lost it all And 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
