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 alright    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    I can't stand another fight    And nothing's alright       '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       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       '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       '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
