"Perfect" - 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 want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
I can't pretend that I'm all right
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 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
I can't stand another fight
And nothing's alright

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

Katie,

I don't think you're wasting your time.
I don't disapprove of you.
You'll always be good enough for me.
I don't want to change you.
I'm not asking you to be perfect.
Yes, we can't go back but we can go forward.
I want to be your hero again.
I have always cared.
I am proud of you.
You'll always be good enough for me.
We don't have to fight if you don't want to.
We haven't lost it all.
It's never too late.
We can make this right again.
Help me understand.
I'll never turn my back on you.
I hope you won't turn your back on me.
