The song is about a son struggling to live up to his father's expectations and feel approved by him. He tries hard to succeed and make his father proud but feels it is never good enough and that nothing he does seems to please his father. The son feels hurt by his father's disapproval over time and they have grown distant, though he still wants his father's acceptance.

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 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 '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 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 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 all right 'Cause we lost it all And 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 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 'Cause we lost it all And 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 'Cause we lost it all And 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
