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

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 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 

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 
'Cuz you don't understand
