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?
But it hurst 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..
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..
