Song lyrics
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 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
(x2)

great for headbanging to.

simple plan confuse me, they started out as bright punk upstarts, then as they got older they started sounding more like angry teenagers, and now they are finally showing some maturity.

when i first heard this song i was like wow and it still impresses me to this day. have to admit the acoustic version is better though.

I love this song. My parents were cool and have always accepted me right how I was but my older sister has always tired to be perfect and she has expected all of us to be the same... so yeah.. she doesnt talk to us anymore. This song reminds me of her.

I love this song, in fact i love all of Simple Plans songs AND i love all the members. I really hate it when people say "Pierre is soooooooo hot" because he doesn't put his emotions into songs for people to only care about his appearance. I bet David feels th esame way. And alot of people completely ignor the fact that Seb, Jeff and Chuck are part of the band to, well guess what? Without them Simple Plan wouldn't BE Simple Plan AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like the opening for the 10 second's cause you can fool people who like very slow music of course i do like the whole song too excellent lyrics and melody are the best parts of the song.

I love simple plan and if any body says that this song is whiny and that makes all there stuff whiny is stupid and know nothing about music, if any of there songs are whiny it would be this one, and welcome to my life. And plus most of those kids that say that are just to hardcore to admit that they used to like them, but its not cool anymore. any way the band rocks, the songs rock, and pop punk rocks.
