Behind The Song Pt. 2
Please listen while you're reading. Thankies ♥
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 want to do?
But it hurts when you disapproved 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 can't pretend that I'm alright
And you can't change me
Life, at times, doesn't flow smoothly.
We can't just make everyone to back us up with what we are aiming for. We can't just always hope that the people we expect to support us with the dream we want to chase will.
'Cause we lost it all
Nothin' 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
In connection, Simple Plan's drummer Chuck Comeau's parents weren't supportive of his career choice, so he and lead singer Pierre Bouvier wrote the song Perfect to prove to his parents that he made it, and to say sorry that's his imperfect.
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 any more
Bassist and vocalist backing David Desrosiers have said that this song was about him before an acoustic version of the song was released. Comeau also said this song is about his brother who supports him in his career as a musician.
Nothing's gonna change the things that you said
And 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
In the music video, the band is performing on a house's roof. It shows how teens try to alleviate this burden by getting it out and eventually realizing that they can no longer contain their pain.

Everyone's favorite song, used to sing this in any karaoke machine, never gets old, and the message of the song was deep and real for someones teenage life and family, having that feeling that unworthy for others, but be on your own way and life was a great thing to do.
