Array ( [sid] => 36841 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Perfect [time] => 2004-02-29 22:24:07 [hometext] => Apology/Lyrics*Courtesy of Simple Plan. To my dad. These are my exact thoughts on the matter. [bodytext] => 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 want to do?

But it hurts when you disapprove all along.
And now I try hard to make it.
I just wanna 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 wanna 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.

Nothings gonna change the things that you said.
And nothings gonna make this right again.
Please don't turn your back.
I can't believe it's this hard to talk to you,
But you just 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.

Too many people expect from us what they themselves cannot themselves do. I hope everything works out for you.
Take care.
