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 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
This is one of the best acoustic performances I've ever heard. The instruments all sound super crisp and clean and the vocals are so on point from everyone here. Could listen to this over and over again for years to come.
This song makes me tear up every time I hear it. It's just one of those songs that hits me right in the feels. So many regrets, so many unsaid feelings.
I used to listen to this song on repeat in high school when it came out and cry myself to sleep. Now I'm 37 listening to it and crying again. Hits ya right in the feels.
*Here I am, 36 years old, cryin to this in my room at 3am...This cuts deep, and I swear on MY LIFE I will do everything in my power so my kids never know this feeling.*

Wow, I didn't appreciate this song back then as much as I do now. Only because now I am 26 years old and I feel almost every word of this song could be for my dad. Last time he spoke to me, he said that he'd rather have a dead son than a deadbeat son. He's always thought I've done nothing with my life or at least not to his standards and this song just hit my heart, wounding a vein that seems to bleed slowly through. Anyway, really love this song and now relate to it even more.
Same feels man. I didn't care about the lyrics before. As I grew up this hits differently. He only shows attention and care when I was in trouble that's why back then I love being in trouble. Now he doesn't even care anymore.
I was born 1988.. This song was one of the great things back then.. Now, I am a father with a beautiful daughter.. How time flies.. This beautiful song brings so many memories to me..

Malam di mana ayah meninggal. Sebelum beliau meninggal, smpet mndengarkan lagi ini (-+) 1 jam sebelum wafatnya ayah. Husnul khatimah ayah. Allah sayang ayah. Al-fatihah
HELLO #SIMPLEPLAN. MUCH LOVE, RESPECT, AND ADMIRATION FROM ALL OF US HERE AT THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES. YOU GUYS WILL ALWAYS BE MY HIGH SCHOOL HEROES AND BECAUSE OF YOU GUYS, I NOW HAVE A BAND OF MY OWN. 🏳🌈🇵🇭
Just listened to this song a while back and now I just can't stop listening. Can't believe I found this song so late but I am glad that I came across this song 😍😍😍
In those days I was so represented by this song in every word, now listening to it again I just want to say "Thank you Dad for being there when I was trying to fit into this world."
I'm literally in tears right now. This was one of my brother's favorite song when he was alive. He used to play this in guitar, we sing it together. Gosh! I miss you, kuya. 💔
This brings me back to when I was in 1st grade and my teacher let me sing this song in class for our christmas party because I memorized this song by heart. Good times. Love from the Philippines ❤
ey, don't make the same mistakes your own dad made and you're fine. No parent can be flawless, but you can make sure you dont repeat whatever was an issue for you growing up. Break that cycle!
Hey dad look at me Hei, Yah, lihatlah aku Think back and talk to me Pikirkanlah lagi dan bicaralah padaku Did I grow up according to plan? Apakah aku besar sesuai rencana? Do you think I'm wasting my time doing things I wanna do? Apakah kau kira kusia-siakan waktu untuk melakukan yang kunginkan? but it hurts when you disapprove all along Namun sakit rasanya saat kau tak pernah setuju I And now I try hard to make it Dan kini aku berusaha keras mewujudkan itu I just want to make you proud Aku hanya ingin membuatmu bangga I'm never gonna be good enough for you Aku takkan pernah sebaik yang kauinginkan I can't pretend that I'm alright Aku tak bisa berpura-pura bahwa aku baik-baik saja And you can't change me Dan kau tak bisa mengubahku
One of my favorite songs. This acoustic version is well, perfect. This song Makes me think of my son. He used to like this song when it came out. The song didn't apply to us, He just really liked it. He was perfect and we were as close as i wish i could of been with my dad. It's been almost 4 yrs since I lost him to a overdose. My only son troy.he was 20 and he was my little buddy.i didn't realize until he was gone that he was also my best friend. R.I.P Troy I love you and I miss you alot!
Hi pak 🥹 saya sudah besar skrg dan sudah memeliki 1 anak yg cantik 🧒🏻 😊 mamah sllu sama rezza pak insya allah akan sllu sama rezza sampai tamat (do’a) Tidak ada harapan yg indah kecuali bisa bertemu bapak kelak di surganya nanti aminnnnnnn🤲
This song is very close to my heart. I discovered it late. I lost my dad a year ago and it just reminds me all the problems I used to have with my dad but I miss him so much everyday. This is a perfect song for some boys complicated relationship with their dad's. Love you Simple Plan for this
My God, it teared me up. Whatever dad done or given to me, i will apreciate it. especially when i become a dad now that someone makes mistakes. Love dad and mom
Hello 8 03 21 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?

And here we are 2021 still quarantined. Their songs are just so nostalgic. Now that i am 30 i just cant help but look back to those good youthful days.
It touches my heart deep because I'm 55 and dad is dead. I always tried to live my life to please my parents. I found out I need to live for me.... Don't be like me and find out so late in life. Live your life for you. And just be you. Because you are special.....
I'm 35 now, i used to sing it before because i really enjoy the melody of the song but not know the meaning at all. Now that i'm a parent, i cried because the song really breaks my heart when it comes to my dad.
Listened to this song when I was young because my siblings were listening to it and it's catchy. Now I am 25. Am looking at the lyrics and listening to it, this song hits different now..
I met this band in March, they are the nicest guys ever, I got to tell them how much their music gets me though the bad days. It was easily the best night iv had in years
this song really hits different when youre carrying a burden and you need to please your parents. as a filipino and eldest among the siblings, this song depicts my life.
This song was literally the song of my life as a teen in the 2000s, together with Welcome to my Life. How can we forget this song? Our youth was made awesome, thanks to Simple Plan.
I'm almost 30 so I grew up with this band and they are amazing live. the only more recent band of the genre that I think compares in live performance is all time low.
+Lucas Collier Thats awesome man! and yeah, but to me they're better than all time low. mainly cause ATL has gone way more pop rock:/ Simple plan still sounds punk rock luckily! but they're both good bands anyway.
+Kyle Kinniburgh I hear ya. in my defense, I haven't seen all time low since they were touring on the so wrong, it's right album cycle so it's been awhile
E você achando que o tempo nao iria passar né? Olha aqui uma galera curtindo esse som, lembrando da adolescência, da pessoa que ficou pra trás, dos amores mal resolvidos, da história que nunca foi contada. Apenas lembrando de tudo que já foi vivido, lembrando do tempo que foi perdido, ou não. Apenas lembrando, e querendo voltar no tempo pra consertar algo que já se foi e não tem mais jeito.❤
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 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 '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 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 '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 Nothing's gonna change the things that you said 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) '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
This song was innocently joked about with my brother about my dad cuz my dad was a perfectionist and very much pointed out little mistakes. I was 9. I'm 21 now and things have changed. It's not innocent anymore. I still get flashbacks. This song has so much weight on me, im glad it exists to express what I never will.
Masa2 sekolah.. berasa berat karena selain sekolah, adik msh pd kecil. Cape bgt rasanya bantuin org tua, kejar beasiswa dsb. Tapi orgtua ga pernah say thank you
