[verse 1]
hey, dad, look at me
think back, and talk to me
did i grow up according to plan?
and do you think im wasting my time
doing things i wanna do?
but it hurts when you disapproved all along
and now i try hard to make it
i just wanna make you proud
im never gonna be good enough for
you cant pretend that im alright
and you cant change me
[chorus]
cause we lost it all
nothinlasts forever
im sorry i cant be perfect
now its just too late
and we cant go back
im sorry i cant be perfect
[verse 2]
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 dont care any more
and now i try hard to make it
i just wanna make you proud
im never gonna be good enough for you
i cant stand another fight
and nothings all right
[chorus]
cause we lost it all
nothinlasts forever
im sorry i cant be perfect
now its just too late
and we cant go back
im sorry i cant be perfect
[bridge]
nothings gonna change the things that you said
and nothings gonna make this right again
please dont turn your back
i cant believe its hard just to talk to you
but you dont understand
[chorus (2x)
cause we lost it all
nothinlasts forever
im sorry i cant be perfect
now its just too late
and we cant go back
im sorry i cant be perfect
