Drummer Chuck Comeau's parents weren't supportive of his career choice, so he and lead singer Pierre Bouvier wrote this song to prove to his parents that he made it, and to say sorry that he's not perfect. (thanks, alyssa - Gc, PA)

Comments:

This is my song to my dad. He was going to give up his parental rights for me. I wans't his perfect child. He wanted me to do his dreams,not mine.
- Becca , Dekalb, IL

This song makes me really sad and happy at the same time 'cause my dad died when i was nine. He was really religious and it turned me into a goody-goody. When he died I turned into a delinquent so this song hits me hard.
- lena , denver, CO

it makes me angry how much talent simple plan don't have. wah wah wah.
- nady , Adelaide, Australia

To all those people who commented that this is a bad song and gives teens the wrong message or whatever thats all crap especially steve , i think the drummer wrote this song not because his parents were like oh i dont think you should do that, i bet they were much worse and probably didnt support him in any endeavors and thats bad on their part a parent should support their child no matter what and all the nonsense about teens not being greatful for what their parents do for them, where in the sone does it say that he doesnt appreciate him, i think all kids feel like they cant live up to their parents expectations or views because parents although they may have teens once really dont understand what teens are going through and this song is an outlet for teens to release their pain or sorrow or maybe just listen to an awesome song so i know that this post was extremely long and no one will probably read the whole thing i just had to write it because of all those ignorant parents who are so quick to judge and blame the band and their teens
- Lainy , New York, NY

sorry one more thing "Not the fact that you can consistly ignore moral behavior, and lawful activity and expect your parents to be all forgiving" steve that justs proves my point of parent ignorance most teens have morals and obey laws and those who dont have sucky parents so maybe you should take a look at your parenting style because its obviously not working if you have to come on here and comment to others about the "problems with teens" its really the adults that are the problem, i didnt mention this in my last post because your message was too hypocritical, heinous and ludicrous
- Lainy , New York, NY

I really love this song and can certainly relate to it, I am certainly not saying I don't have good parents, but they really aren't supportive of my future career choices. It's really hurtful and they don't understand that, they constantly want me to be a nurse because I used to say thats what I wanted to be when I was little, but I really really don't want to be a nurse and whenever I tell them that and why they tell me i'll get over it, no I won't get over it I don't want to be a nurse ever! I tell them and tell them and now that I think they finally understand they keep telling me i'm going to be poor and I don't have what it takes to be in the profession that I want.
- Lila , Edgewood, MD

Sorry for making another comment but do you people who say it's a bad song and makes kids hate their parents understand now? And parents who pressure you're kids to choose a career or something along those lines, I hope I helped you understand.
- Lila , Edgewood, MD

Although I can't relate entirely to this song I think it's pretty sweet. My dad use to come home drunk at 1 in the morning pull me and my sister out of bed and hit us. after the divorce my sister never talked to him again but I by court order I had to see him. I tried for two years to forget all the things he would say to me, my sister, and my mom but he kept it up. So yes it is hard to talk to him and maybe he wasnt my hero but he was still my dad and I tried. I know I disapoint him because he tells me I do to my face and he makes me feel like crap but I've learned to move on and not care what he thinks when I do things I want to do.
- robert , kentwood, MI

I never liked the video, because my daughter was a young teen when she was listening to Simple Plan, and the video makes it seem like it's 'okay' to run away, just because you have differences with your parents. Her and I had a good relationship, but she ran away at 17, and it seems like the things she saw on TV may have played a part in that. She just didn't like to be grounded...so she went to live with her boyfriend. Now, she's almost 19, we get along great, and she's doing good things with her life. Just venting about the video...
- Mary , Phoenix, AZ

This is the first time I have taken the time to respond to something like this, but since my son reccomended I listen to the song, I thought I should investigate its meaning a little bit. As far as the sound, it's not my thing, but what people enjoy is their own personal judgement, and far be it from me to pick apart the listening habits of a bunch of strangers. As far as the lyrics go, there is where I have some problems. I am very aware of teenagers angst and feeling of deprivity of their parents support. In fact, although it's hard for my son to believe, I was once a teenager. But, as I read the comments on this (I think it's called a blog), I notice that the statements like " This song is so my life" seem to be made by young people. I believe that may be because MOST (not all) older people see that their parents worries about the decisions their children make, does not come from shame, malice, or not even non-support. We worry about what our childrens lives will become when we can no longer protect them. Our only ability to influence our children is to warn them of the dangers and the effects of their decisions. Now, as far as career choices, really what is expected of a parent. " Hey Dad, I am going to try to make a living in a proffession that less than 1/2 of 1% succeed." I would think any parent would worry and be unsure. But when a parent voices those concerns, than they're are seen as unsupportive. This song is said to have been written by a "drummer". Where does anyone think them lessons came from. If his father paid for them, where is the credit for that support in the song. And where is the song thanking mom dad for talking me out of becoming a musican, or a clown in the circus or any other hard to acheive proffesion, and thanking them for the foresight that help him/her become a dentist, a judge, or computer engineer. Without getting into my own personal arena, it also needs to be clear to some (BY NO MEANS ALL) that remark this song is somehow connected to their life, that the song is talking about a career decision. Not the fact that you can consistly ignore moral behavior, and lawful activity and expect your parents to be all forgiving. I.E. in my personal case. So I say go on and enjoy the song, but PLEASE, do not put the lyrical ramblings of inexperienced kids above the caring, loving, and experienced opinions of the people who will support and care for you the most in your life, (even when they're not happy with your decisions or actions), YOUR PARENTS. I apologize for the length of this and thank anyone who bothered to read it all. Agreed, or disagreed.
- Steve , Independence, MO

this song is so great. its so perfect for everyone whos parents dont like the way they're living their lives and most of the time they hav ur best interest in mind but kids need to be brought up not torn down. i love it.
- bethanii , Okc, OK

I love simple plan. The songs they write is just so true. Like crazy, and perfrect.
- Karen , hasstingsquare, United States

i relate to this song more than anyone i know and i listen to it almost 24/7. Before i was born, when my father learned he was going to be a dad, he left my mother, and I was adopted by my aunt. I've wondered my whole life why he owuld do that and I've tried my whole life to push myself as hard as i can to prove to myself that if he was watching he'd be proud. I've had a lot of father figures in my life, my Sensi Mr. Middleton is like a father to me but lately we haven't been seeing eye to eye and he thinks i haven't been working hard enough, and then my grandfather who loved me like his own was the one i always tried to make proud of me, i'd do anything for him, but once he died i felt lost, like i had no more push.
- Lauren , Kansas City, MO

i think this song is about a kid saying to his dad, "this is me. you can't change who i am. i'm sorry that i can't be perfect." my dad and i hate each other so much. and Lyzette, Moorpark, CA...you're the poser. how are you say that about any of those bands. why don't you just listen to your music instead of insulting ours. get a life!
- Jordan , --, IN

Everytime I hear this song I feel like crying. My father and I don't really get along and the first time I listened to this song me and him happened to be fighting at the time and we were having one of our "I'm not gonna talk to you till you talk to me first and when I DO talk back I'll probably say something bitchy anyways" momments. Right now we are at it again and I think we are gonna end up like him and my grandpa who didn't talk to eachother for many years and my grandpa didn't even talk to me until I was 13 and things are still awkward between us.
- Ashley , Buffalo, NY

This song is so about me.
- Stephanie , Los Angeles, CA

Johnny Pacar that plays Jackson on Flight 29 Down was in Perfects music video. He was the guy at the end with the parents arguing and the big green room.
- Ashley , Decatur, IL

*speechless* Guys! you said everything! I can't say anything else. This song is awesomely, horribly, terribly, magnificently COOL! it's fantastic, no song will ever be that touching. LOVE YA SP!
- Refo , Dubai, Egypt

this song made me cry the first time I heard it
- Lisa , Burlington

i love this song its my favourite song , its the first song i can actually cry during coz i relate to the lyrics soo much , i'm always arguing with my dad about anything i do he just looks down on me, i've chosen to take a career as a musician and my parents strongly disaprove of it and never talk to me now but they don't understand
- Andrew , adelaide, Australia

GUYS!!..This song is pierre's message to his dad in my opinion since he didn't go to college and basically in an aol interview seems like he droped out of high school 4 a music carrer and i don't think his dad approved of that...
- MsZacEfron , Chicago, IL

the most you need to have is to know what has happened - Jorge, Codoba, Other - South America Thats like telling me to write a story about prison ,which ive never been to,and all you tell me is they hurt you there.To experiance something is to have it physically and mentally happen to you but if hear it your getting told and thats mentally.Understand?If not,these kids get driven to their last stop sign,as i say, which mean they cant take it they cant make it and they cant fake it anymore.And yes ive gone through what simple plan is singing through.Thats why they are my faviriote band i can relate to them.Alot of kids can,when you go through something and you see someone else going through it too andholding on you believe in yourself you believe you can hold on too.
- Mary , friendswood , TX

Oh, geez. I love this song and I cry ever time I hear it or even read the lyrics. It means so much to me because this pretty much describes the relationship between me and my dad perfectly. I can't believe it's hard Just to talk to you But you don't understand...
- Jenny Rostrom , NRH , TX

Ok, do you actually think you need to experience what has happened to write the song... the most you need to have is to know what has happened, you dont need someone to go throw you in a poverted area, and then you can right the song, its a matter of a fact in the music industry if you have the balls to do this, to be able to show people that something must be done, not to waste it on mediocre people, that have everything, i understand they write songs about them selves, but isnt that selfish, when they have the power and popularity to write about something else, to actually...give a message. And i accept the mistake, but what you just said makes this whole thing worse, now that there from Canada, everything can be explained..yet another major Capitalist country you have to bring up, where people are still rich, but waste there lives on being depressed, example: Emo. And yes i dont know EVERYTHING about simple plan, and what they did, but neither do you, all im going to say is i know this, they are another band that gets popularity...somehow, and then sends the either A)wrong message, or B)Selfishly talks about themselves.
- Jorge , Codoba, South America

One more thing: Simple Plan, and i dont just say this to this particular band, but many, people that make bands today, are in it for the money, not for the music, i bet if simple plan didnt get paid millions every ablum they would give it all up.
- Jorge , Codoba, South America

If they don't go through something, how can they write about it? If they just write about what they know it will have no real meaning. They won't have any feelings that can go into the song. And another thing, they do have a song about problems they haven't gone through. It's called Crazy. In the song they talk about girls doing anything to make their dreams come true like starving themselves. It talks about poverty and how rich people will spend millions of dollars on things they don't need but you see kids starving in the streets. It talks about kids killing themsleves. So they do make songs to tell about problems in the world. And they are not selfish because they talk about their own life. And just because Canada may have money doesn't make them bad people. You make it seem like if anyone has money they are bad. That's not it, just because a country has money doen't mean they can't make good music. If you want to talk about other problems in the world, go ahead but don't put a band down because they don't.
- Melissa , Toledo, OH

Jorge, why are you complaining about what Simple Plan writes about? You act like you know everything about them and think they never went through anything. And you act like if anyone writes about problems they have to talk about every terrible thing in the world. Ok, they don't write about poverty and that type of stuff, but what they do write about is good enough. They write about what they went through and what teens today go through. Sorry they can't please you, they can't please everyone. And they don't want to. They just want to make the music they love. You don't like the music, oh well a lot of other people do. So just stop trying to bring them down and their fans down because it's never gonna work. You don't have to like them, they never asked for everyone to like them.
- Melissa , Toledo, OH

Ok, Jorge. First of all. The guys of Simple Plan ARE NOT AMERICAN!! You said "that's how americans roll" yeah, well they're from Montreal, CANADA. Just had to get that out. And no, they don't write about the big issues, that's true. But how could they? They haven't experienced those things like extreme poverty, being drafted, etc. etc. That's not them, that's not who they are. And to the people that say they don't write their own lyrics, and that they're all straightforward, etc. Listen to every single song they've ever written, and go back to the band Reset, where Chuck and Pierre started off. Listen to every song, and you seriously wouldn't be able to say that. So until you get ALL of the facts straight, you have no right to talk about any band like that. Sorry, I'm a huge Simple Plan fan, and get really mad when they're dissed, so I just had to say that. Wow.. this is long, lol.
- Amy , --, Canada

everyone has a story...and this song relates to there story...and it just needed to be heard...they just wrote it in a song
- shong , wausau, WI

if they really could write a song they would know, that this issue is nothing compared to others, obviously they wrote this because they want your money, i know its hard to hear but its how americans roll.
- Jorge , Codoba, South America

I know this song helped my sister alot, because they have really high expectations for her for some reason, and their expectations drove her into moving out, and wgen she left, she left these lyrics on a card on my bed to explain to me why she had to go.
- Caitlin , Murrieta, CA

Maybe a lot of other rockers went through it, but Simple Plan wrote down their feelings, the other bands didn't. But that doesn't mean Simple Plan can't write meaningful lyrics, because they do.
- Melissa , Toledo, OH

ok WTF, seriously what is this drummers problem, all famous rock stars went threw the same problem as him, but worse not only do they all look more stupid now, but also look like a bunch of guys that are in desperate need of learning how to write a meaningful song
- Jorge , Codoba, South America

This song is feeling like you're never good enough for your parents so how did u get on drugs? This song was written because the drummer, Chuck Comeau's parents did not believe in the band. I understand what you're saying about how they do not talk about like people dieing from AIDs and all that stuff, I understand but Simple Plan talks about things in their lives and things they went through. Their songs are to let their feelings out about their lives and what they went through. Maybe they didn't have really bad lives and they didn't starve, but they never said they did, they talk about them. If you want to talk about all that stuff, you can write songs about it but Simple Plan doesn't write about that but it doesn't make them bad. They have their own style and I don't think it's right people say bad things about what they write about and say they talk about problems they never had when they don't know their lives were like. I don't get it.
- Melissa , My place

are you that blind. They seem to have go this threw to you, sure i understand there trying to help teens and all, but think of it this way, most of these teens they talk about are relating to the ones that have money, and resources to live, people that whine about there lives becuase there lonely or on drugs, should get a good slap to the face, first off most likly the person has bad social skills or got ont he drugs for some stupid reason, lets look at the people out of these civilized areas, teenagers like you being sold for 16 cents to a stranger, kids being drafted to fight in africa, people dieing form AIDS in rwanda, there are so many problems in this world, and your telling me that some teen that lives in a house knows where his next meal is coming from, and actually saw the face of his father and mother, is worse than these people?
- Jorge , Codoba, South America

Jorge, Simple Plan is not trying to make our lives sound bad to make money, they are relationg to teens. This song is about feeling like you are never good enough for your parents, this song is real it is about the drummer Chuck Comeau's parents not believing in the band. How is that trying to make our lives sound bad for money. Simple Plan is not even like that, they relate to teens but no one sees that anymore. It's pathetic how people put them down when the reason they are putting them down is a lie. I don't get it. Simple Plan helps out so much they have their own foundation to help teens deal with problems like suicide, drugs, poverty, and a lot of other things. They're here to help teens but everyone puts them down. It's so sad.
- Melissa , Toledo

i dont know why simple plan talks about young people so much, why are there lyrics so directed to your lives, there are much worse things to talk about, why about all the people that still live in houses have computers, know what there eating for all 3 meals of the day, come on people open your eyes, simple plan is trying to make your lives sounds really bad just to get your money
- Jorge , Codoba, South America

yes this song relates so much to all the teens in the world and it's so true in one way or another...rock on
- shong , wausau, WI

I think the song 'perfect' is really misleading bcuz of the different lines in the song to me they are perfect but who needs your parents to approve or be proud of you i know i don't
- caitlin cooper , sydney, Australia

I love this song because it makes me know even though my parents may hate me cause im not perfect... its not my fault... SP always has the most deep meaning lyrics.
- Jessie , Calgary, Canada

they have so much talent. I've never heard any band sound as good live.
- hope , hayden, AL

I love this song a lot! It relates to me sooo much. Even if you don't like Simple Plan you can still like and relate to this song. The good thing about Simple Plan is that all their songs can relate to people so you understand where their coming from!!!! I LOVE YOU SIMPLE PLAN!!!!!!
- Melissa , Toledo, OH

The song Perfect by Simple Plan was really made for David the bass player who's dad had just divorced his mom and he was trying to show his dad that he had a life doing something he loved and that he wasn't gonna sit around and be controlled like a robot and be sad after his mom was gone!! By the way I love SP and I can't even say wut I think of the people that criticize the band!!!
- Dorothee , Hamburg, NY

Pierre and David are not a couple they are just big party people and do anything for a joke and to be cray!! Seb the backup guitarist has an engagement ring too!! I don't know if he still has it or who he is engaged to but i will find out
- Dorothee , Hamburg, NY

ok i just watched new york minute and its about two twins going to ney york city(1 whos dropping outa school to see simple plan video shoot, 2nd to get her scholarship to a colege). and simple plans new album was called vacation. is there a such album called vacation? i want all of simple plans albums! SOME1 HELP ME!
- noname , aplace, NJ

I love this song soOoOoOo amaizing! It relates to my life way too much!! Even if you hate Simple Plan(which you shouldn't)(J/K) You can still relate and like this song!! I have never heard a song that relates to kids more than this song!! The good thing about this song is that THEY wrote it and it's about Chuck Comeau the drummer! This song is about how his parents didn't support his decision to be in a band. He proved them wrong!! Good job Chuck and great job Simple Plan I love you!!!
- Melissa , Toledo, OH

This song is cool along with all of Simple Plan's other songs because young people, like me, can relate to their songs. I just wanna say that people who dislike Simple Plan, let them dislike them, i don't think that Simple Plan care about what they think, they only care about the people that support them, their fans. xoxo
- Lia , Adelaide, Australia

I know for a fact pierre isnt gay he is a distint relative of my best friend i have met him in person and hung out with him he is a cool guy and is definatlly not gay; trust me
- Zach , Hamilton, OH

SP does write their own songs sebastion, pierre, chuck and I all wrote one together when i hung out with them it isnt on the album but we still wrote it.
- Zach , Hamilton, OH

I love Pierre more than my life, and i think it's too bad that he doesn't even know me. Okay, i've met him once, but alot of people have done that. I think about him day and night, and im so inlove. and i wanna say that no one can be perfect, but Pierre is so close to perfect as someone possible can be.
- emmy , gothenburg, Sweden

This is nothing against Simple Plan individually...I Just can't stand all of these pop/rock bands out today with (at least it sounds like it) the same nasally voiced singer and lyrics!
- Matt , Millbrae, CA

i think the song perfect is just perfect because its them just trying to let there parents know that they arnt perfect but they can do watever they want to
- brianna , anza, CA

I think Simple Plan rocks, especially Pierre. If anyone wants to rag on them or stuff like that then they should keep it to themselves. I thin SP is the greatest band ever, because me being the teen that I am, I can relate to so many of their lyrics. Besides that though their beats rock. I love Simple Plan
- Marissa , Montreal, Canada

this song is ok i guess. but his vioce is nerve racking... and i guess it has a good meaning sure.. but i it when people write song that they just think of and have nothing to relate to n uhm.. o well.. there just a band.
- Hayley , Mckinney, TX

Wow..this song is so ROCKING all the way. It is called Untitled by simple plan..gosh i love this song. I LOVE SIMPLE PLAN!!!they just have to ROCK my world. -molly
- molly , fresno, CA

I'll give them this, Simple Plan is a step above Good Charlotte.
- Matt , Millbrae, CA

Well, I must agree that, lyrically, Simple Plan isn't very well accomplished. I kind of like the style of music. Very straightforward and u can tell they are nerds who made it big-time by their music. I like them, and this song really describes most teens' relations with their parents.
- Elliot , St. Louis, MO

This is scary this is so like my life.But in song
- Jenna , Allegan, MI

I love simple plan...but there is LOTS more to agrue about then the band, these world hunger...poverty...animal testing...you have a brain, use it!....I like simple plan, good charlotte, the killers, avril lavigne...pop-rock bands are awsome.....lol...and simple plant does write there own music...and so does avril lavigne...she helped a country singer write a song...
- Jenna , ah....I'm not telling..., CA

Why do people hate Simple Plan? Their lyrics are mind numbingly awful junk that display angst in a horrid style. Unlike good lyricists , the lyricists for Simple Plan use absolutely zero deep meanings or any finesse. The muscianship for Simple Plan is something a beginner musician would find easy, and the reason they are popular isbecause their corporate rulers ensure they get radio play which in turn generates sales. They aren't 'artists' they are money making machines. A truly shocking band and this song is worse than imperfect.
- Michael , Melbourne, Australia

In the chorus it goes: "Cuz we lost it all nothing lasts forever. I'm sorry I can't be perfect." And the rest of the chorus is fine. Simple plan + good charlette rock my socks!
- Shawn , hot springs, AR

yes simple does write there own songs...like you said chuck and pierre were finishing "perfect world" together...i dont care what people say about simple plan...you talk about being a real band...they seem real to me...there in a band...and it is good music...if it was bad, it wont sell but it does...some people like it and some dont...i love simple plan's music...i can relate to there songs...so if you dont like them, then dont...if you love there music...that's great...just let them be...
- shong , wausau, WI

in an interview, pierre says that he and chuck were upset with their parents cuz they didn't support the band so when they wrote perfect, the lines "I'm never gonna be good enough for u" and "But it hurts when you disapprove all along" were directed at them to express their feelings.
- nicole , sewaren, NJ

Simple Plan does write their own songs, i was watching the dvd that came with the new cd and pierre and chuck were finishing "perfect world"
- nicole , sewaren, NJ

god, people shut up about hating simple plan! im not a big fan either, but at least i have the class to not make a fuss about it. if you hate it so much, then what are you doing on this board? anyways, the reason i came to this song was because i think it describes my brother and my dads relationship sometimes. my dad has always been harder on my brother than on me or my sister. i think his dad was pretty strict, also. my brother and my dad used to fight a lot, like seriously, fight. like really bad fights. they even got physical one time. one time i was riding with my brother in the car and this song came on the radio and he was like sayign the words along with it and stuff, but believe me, hes not a simple plan fan. i think he just relates to it. but thankfully, their reltionship has seemed to healed. they always generally loved each other and cared for each other, liek parent and child should, i just think they fought a lot. but now i think they are okay, which is good. anyways, thats my story!
- Izzie , lala, HI

Simple Plan could easily be the worst band in the history of the world. From singing in a screechy, whiney, voice that is enough to make anyone's ears bleed, to not even writing their own music. This band doesn't deserve to even listen to music, much less play it. They've ruined their privilage.
- Brian , St. Cloud, MN

This song is the anthem for a whole generation of young men today. I notice most of us guys either claim to identify with this song, ignore it, or diss it citing no other reason other than "its so stupid/gay/dumb". Three categories: visible wounds, irrelevance, and denial. All American young men fall into these three categories in relation to the song.
- Dale , Columbia, SC

I totally agree with Michael! "Absolutely boring pop song with an incredibly annoying singer. They actually call this punk rock! (It doesn't qualify for rock in my mind) - Michael, Melbourne, Australia" Simple Plan is not rock when you compare them to real bands. I don't know or really care if they right there own lyrics, but if they don't, they don't really have a band. Anyone can learn music and sing words form a piece of paper, even if they do they still stink anyway.
- Alex , Lilburn, GA

its scary how simple plan's songs relate so much to my life...thats why i like them.
- katie , sn jose, Other

Marcus from Royersford PA, i don't really care if Simple Plan doesn't write their music or lyrics. They are the ones with the guts to get up on stage and perform the songs to hundreds of screaming people. COme to think of it, I don't think they really care either. I love Simple Plan's songs and even if they don't actually write them themselves, that doesn't change how much i enjoy the songs.
- Melanie , Emerald, Australia

I completely agree with you Melanie. I don't care either that they don't write their own songs. I still love their music. It totally rox. I can relate to this song, coz i always feel i'm not good enough, or not deserving of the stuff i have. Good on u for getting out and stating ur opinion!
- Shandi , Brisbane, Australia

yeah poppish and ridiculous... and just all out a stupid song.
- Rob , Castaic, CA

really good song...it's about being not perfect for your parents...you know as a teen you felt this way one way or another...i love this song
- shong , wausau, WI

Absolutely boring pop song with an incredibly annoying singer. They actually call this punk rock! (It doesn't qualify for rock in my mind)
- Michael , Melbourne, Australia

this song is like my life it is unbeleivable how close its kinda eerie
- Heather , Bristol, VA

Hey, It was pretty funnny when i first saw a Simple PLan musice video, i wondered if they were gay, I am still confused, casue are they? Well any way, i like there songs, It has a meaning to what I am going through, Love+loneliness, any way, my aim sn is unknownspiritx5
- Hassan , NYC, NY

Yeah i like it. Its cool and i didnt really think it was bout a gay guy when i first heard it, I reminds me of the trouble i have with my biological dad and how im never good enough for him! Im never gonna be perfect but i can just be me jpettit@huh.tas.edu.au tell me what you think!!!
- jaymie , Hobart, Australia

I don't know why. but when I first heard this song, I thought it could be about a young gay guy telling his father the truth, and his dad disowns him.
- Brian , Valliant, OK

the lead singer's voice is annoyingly nasal.
- mj , boston, MA

ya um nice try guys they write there own songs about not being cool, because supposivly they were never cool, so ya there lyrics are pretty simplistic but there theirs. I just can't imagine these guys being nerds though, and the explanation is right they only tell you about the song in almost every magazine in Canada. This is such a famous Quebec band, everytime I buy a magazine there in it.
- Kristen , Campbellville, Canada

Its pretty obvious they dont write they're own lyrics. All their lyrics are so straightforward you have to wonder whether someone else writes them to appeal to the masses or if they just really really really suck at writing songs.

I hear Simple Plan doesn't write their own music or lyrics.

I have to disagree in this song he says "I'm never gonna be good enough for u". "But it hurts when you disapprove all along". This shows that they did not approve. I really think it means that the parents did not believe in him but he made it out no matter if he was perfect or not.
