Hey, Dad, look at me.
Think back and talk to me.
Did I grow up according to plan?
style='font-family:Arial'>
style='font-family:Arial'>I’m not a doctor or a lawyer.
style='font-family:Arial'>I’m not an accountant or a businessman.
style='font-family:Arial'>Instead, I followed my dreams.
style='font-family:Arial'>I reached for the stars.
style='font-family:Arial'>
Do you think I’m wasting my time?
Doing things I want to do?
It hurts when you’ve disapproved all
along.
Now, I try hard to make it.
I just want to make you proud.
I’m never going to be good enough for
you.
style='font-family:Arial'>
I can’t pretend that I’m alright.
You can’t change me.
style='font-family:Arial'>
style='font-family:Arial'>I can’t help the way I was born.
I can’t help whom I love.
style='font-family:Arial'>I smoke. I drink.
style='font-family:Arial'>I cope with the pain.
style='font-family:Arial'>
style='font-family:Arial'>I never meant to hurt you.
style='font-family:Arial'>But I’m the one who’s been broken.
style='font-family:Arial'>
We lost it all.
Nothing lasts forever.
I’m sorry I can’t be perfect.
style='font-family:Arial'>
It’s just too late,
We can’t go back.
style='font-family:Arial'>
style='font-family:Arial'>Three years past.
style='font-family:Arial'>I couldn’t hate you, despite the pain.
style='font-family:Arial'>I wanted to believe you still loved me.
style='font-family:Arial'>I wanted to run away.
style='font-family:Arial'>
I’m sorry I can’t be perfect.
style='font-family:Arial'>
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.
style='font-family:Arial'>
style='font-family:Arial'>What happened to the past?
style='font-family:Arial'>What happened to affectionate pats on the head?
style='font-family:Arial'>I lost my mother and my brother and now my father as
well.
style='font-family:Arial'>My heart literally aches.
style='font-family:Arial'>
style='font-family:Arial'>It feels like you don’t care anymore.
style='font-family:Arial'>
I tried hard to make it.
I just wanted to make you proud.
But I’m never going to be good enough
for you.
style='font-family:Arial'>
style='font-family:Arial'>I can’t be Reginald or Percival or Frederick.
style='font-family:Arial'>I can’t be anyone but me.
style='font-family:Arial'>Too bad that’s not enough.
style='font-family:Arial'>
style='font-family:Arial'>No matter what I do.
style='font-family:Arial'>I went to space; did you know?
style='font-family:Arial'>I built an airship and a plane.
style='font-family:Arial'>Did you even care?
style='font-family:Arial'>
I can’t stand another fight.
Nothing’s ever been alright.
We lost it all.
style='font-family:Arial'>
style='font-family:Arial'>When I left, you scoffed.
style='font-family:Arial'>
Nothing lasts forever.
style='font-family:Arial'>I tried to love her and make it work.
I couldn’t deny myself.
style='font-family:Arial'>I love him, Dad.
style='font-family:Arial'>
I’m sorry I can’t be perfect.
style='font-family:Arial'>
Now it’s just too late.
We can’t go back.
style='font-family:Arial'>You can’t take away every beating…
style='font-family:Arial'>Or apologize for every tear.
style='font-family:Arial'>
I’m sorry I can’t be perfect.
Nothing’s going to change the things
that you said.
Nothing’s going to make this right
again.
style='font-family:Arial'>
style='font-family:Arial'>I don’t want your money.
style='font-family:Arial'>I don’t need your house or your cars.
style='font-family:Arial'>I wish that you loved me.
style='font-family:Arial'>I wished to just hear you once say,
style='font-family:Arial'>“I’m proud.”
style='font-family:Arial'>
Please don’t turn your back.
I can’t believe it’s hard just to talk
to you.
You don’t understand.style='font-family:Arial'>
style='font-family:Arial'>
style='font-family:Arial'>And in the end,
style='font-family:Arial'>You left me again.
style='font-family:Arial'>To the bitter loss.
style='font-family:Arial'>
I’m sorry I can’t be perfect.
style='font-family:Arial'>
style='font-family:Arial'>I almost lost it all.
style='font-family:Arial'>I thought we’d last forever.
style='font-family:Arial'>It was almost too late.
style='font-family:Arial'>Thought I couldn’t go back.
style='font-family:Arial'>I knew I was just imperfect.
style='font-family:Arial'>
I tried hard to make it.
style='font-family:Arial'>
style='font-family:Arial'>My scars remind me.
style='font-family:Arial'>I won’t ever be the same again.
style='font-family:Arial'>
Cause we lost it all.
Nothing lasts forever.
I’m sorry I can’t be perfect.
style='font-family:Arial'>
style='font-family:Arial'>I’m going to move on.
style='font-family:Arial'>It is just too late.
style='font-family:Arial'>You can’t go back.
style='font-family:Arial'>
style='font-family:Arial'>I’m going to love him.
style='font-family:Arial'>And I will make my own way.
style='font-family:Arial'>
style='font-family:Arial'>You lost it all.
style='font-family:Arial'>You can’t last forever.
style='font-family:Arial'>
I’m sorry I can’t be perfect.
style='font-family:Arial'>
style='font-family:Arial'>It is just too late.
style='font-family:Arial'>And I won’t go back.
style='font-family:Arial'>I’m happy to be imperfect.
