Hey dad look at me
Think back and talk to me
Did I grow up according to plan?

And I do know I'm wasting my time
doing things I can't stop doing?
And 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 I just can't change me

'Cuz I lost it all
But you last forever
I'm sorry I can't be perfect

Now it's not too late
but I can't go back to you
I'm sorry I can't be perfect

I try not to think
About the pain I feel inside
Do you know you still are my hero?

All the days you spent with me
Now seem so far away
And I try to pretend I 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 pretend that I'm alright
And I just can't change me

'Cuz I lost it all
But you last forever
I'm sorry I can't be perfect

Now it's not too late
but I can't go back to you
I'm sorry I can't be perfect
