Artist/Band: Simple Plan
Lyrics for Song: Perfect
Lyrics for Album: No Pads No Helmets...Just Balls



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

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 all right
and you can't change me

'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing last 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

And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
I can't stand another fight
And nothing's alright

'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing last 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
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

'Cuz 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

'Cuz 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


Simple Plan - Perfect

Released on the 2002 album No Pads No Helmets...Just Balls, "Perfect" stands as a defining track in the indie pop and garage rock revival of the early 2000s. The song showcases the band's signature blend of raw energy and melodic hooks, characteristic of their work during the Still Not Getting Any era. Produced with a lo-fi aesthetic that emphasized live instrumentation, the recording captures the frenetic spirit of the Montreal scene. While often associated with the broader indie pop movement, Simple Plan's approach here remains distinct, prioritizing rhythmic drive and vocal intensity over polished production. The track has since become a staple of their discography, frequently cited as a key example of the genre's resurgence in the 2000s.
