“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 want to 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 < 3”
