Perfect by Simple Plan

The song is about trying to live up to a father's high expectations but realizing that the singer can never be "perfect" or good enough. The singer feels the father has grown more disapproving and distant over time. While the singer tries hard to succeed, they just want the father to be proud of who they are rather than who he wants them to be. It's now too late to change the past or repair their relationship.

PERFECT

By Simple Plan

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?
Cuz 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

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 spend 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
