It was 3 a.m.

We talked about our lives until the sun came up.

Browsed through my playlist last night,

came across this one that used to describe my feelings perfectly years ago.

Hey Dad,

look at me,

think back and talk to me.

Did I grow up according to plan?

Do you think I'm wasting my time,

doing things I wanna do?

'Cause it hurts when you disapprove all along.

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 pretend that I'm alright.

And you can't change me.

'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.

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.

Nothing's gonna change the things that you said,

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,

'cause you don't understand.

Yes, this song is called Perfect, by Simple Plan.

Just a random post, don't roll your eyes.

"It was 3 a.m. when you woke me up,

then we jumped in the car and drove as far as we could go,

just to get away."

Everytime - Simple Plan.
