A song about living up to the expectations of your father. Many fathers push their sons too hard and never tell their sons that they are proud because they believe that it will make their sons soft to do so. However, in this song, the singer laments his lack of paternal approval.
Perfect Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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?
But it hurts when you disapprove all along
[Pre-Chorus]
And now I try hard to make it
I just wanna make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
Can't pretend that I'm alright
And you can't change me
[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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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]
'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
[Bridge]
Nothing's gonna change the things that you said
And nothing's gonna make this right again (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 (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

Is Part Of This Song About Deadbeat Dads Who Never Made An Effort?
It does not seem to be. Some of the lyrics, namely “…you used to be my hero…” and “We lost it all…” would imply the relationship between the child and father at one point was ideal and happy, however that relationship has now been broken.
However each person can interpret the lyrics differently. Pe...
