D#
Hey dad look at me
G#
Think back and talk to me
       D#                   G#
Did I grow up according to plan?
D#                                  G#
And do you think I'm wasting my time
doing things I wanna do?
        D#
But it hurts when you disapprove all along

        Fm
And now I try hard to make it
G#                     D#
I just want to make you proud
D#                                  Fm
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
Fm                          G#
I can't pretend that I'm alright
     G#
And you can't change me

Chorus:
        D#
Cos we lost it all
         A#
Nothing lasts forever
    Cm
I'm sorry
            G#
I can't be perfect
          D#
Now it's just too late and
    A#
We can't go back
     Cm
I'm sorry
            G#
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

Chorus

Cm                          A#
Nothing's gonna change the things that you said
Cm                         G#
Nothing's gonna make this right again
Cm
Please don't turn your back
A#
I can't believe it's hard
         G#
Just to talk to you
                 G#
But you don't understand

Chorus:
'Cause 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
'Cause 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
