Perfect by simple plan
Hey, dad look at me
Think back and talk to me
Did I grow up
According to plan?
Sasuke looked out his window and sighed. How was he going to tell his family about the concert? He knew his mother would be ecstatic and get a front row seat. His brother would probably make fun of him but come anyway, after getting gilt tripped by their mother. But his father… that was going to be difficult.
And do you think I'm wasting my time
Doing things I want to do
But it hurts when you
disapprove all along
Sasuke knocked on the door of his father's office. A deep voice answered from the other side stating he could come in. As Sasuke walked into the office, Fugaku Uchiha looked up with an expressionless expression. 'Dad, Sasuke began, I'm to be performing in a concert to raise money for my school.' Fugaku just looked at his son, so Sasuke continued. 'It's this Friday, here's the flyer.' Sasuke looked up at his Father waiting for a response, but all his father said was a simple; 'Hn'. Disappointed Sasuke left his father's office.
And now I try hard to make it
And I just want to make you
Proud
I'm never going to be good enough for you
Can't pretend that I'm alright
And you can't change me
As Sasuke walked into his kitchen to grab a tomato he shoved the remaining flyer in the trash, hoping no one would noticed it.
And I just want to make you
Proud
I'm never going to be good enough for you
I can't stand another fight
And nothing's alright
The next morning as Sasuke came down the stairs he ended up face to face with his mother. She looked disappointed and hurt. Sasuke visibly gulped. 'What's this?' His mother said, shoving the concert flyer in his face. He stared at her, opening and closing his mouth like he was trying to say something. Finally he just said 'Sorry, Mom.'
Cause we lost it all
And nothing last forever
I'm sorry I can't be
Perfect
His mother sighed, 'Sasuke, why didn't you tell me about the concert? I know how strongly you feel about music, is it your father? Did you talk to him?' Sasuke just nodded. 'Oh! What did he say?' Sasuke just looked at her. 'Oh, right. Sorry honey.' She said as Sasuke walked past her and out the door, on the way to school. He met his girlfriend on the way.
Now it's just to late
And we cant go back
I'm sorry I can't be
Perfect
'So how'd it go? Did he say he would come?' His girlfriend Sakura ask him. 'No, he didn't say anything.' Sakura hugged him and gave him a quick peck on the lips. 'It's going to be okay Sasuke. Even if he doesn't come, you still have me, your mom and your brother. He doesn't appreciate you the way we do.' He looked at her, smiled and pulled her into his arms. They than made their way to school.
Nothings going to change
The things that you said
And nothings going to make this
Right again (right again)
Tonight was the night of the concert. Sasuke could see his mother and brother in the crowd. Even though he knew his dad wasn't going to come, he still felt disappointed when he wasn't sitting out there. Sakura gave him a quick kiss and told him good luck as she went backstage to get ready for her performance after him. He turned away from the curtain to tune his guitar.
Please don't turn your back on
I can't believe it's hard just to talk
To you,
But you don't understand
He sighed as the announcer introduced him. He stepped out onto the stage acoustic guitar in hand, he stood up to the microphone and said a little dedication 'Dad, this is for you, even if your not here', than he began to sing.
Cause we lost it all
And nothing last forever
I'm sorry I can't be
Perfect
What he didn't notice was that when Sasuke was starting his song, his dad walked him. Fugaku looked up at his younger son as he made his way down to his seat. He sat next to his wife who gave him a small smile and a squeeze of the knee. It shocked him at how talented his boy was. Half-way through he realized the song was about him.
Now its just to late
And we cant go back
I'm sorry I cant be
Perfect
Fugaku came to a sudden realization of how he had been treating his youngest son. He started to tear up, he wanted to make things right. He had been pushing perfection on him, but ignoring him and pushing him away at the same time. What kind of father was he?
Cause we lost it all
And nothing last forever
I'm sorry I can't be
Perfect
Now its just to late
And we can't go back
I'm sorry I can't be
Perfect
As the song ends, Sasuke looks out upon the audience. He saw what he excepted to see, his mom and brother standing up cheering, but what he saw next shocked him. Hs dad was here, he was cheering, he was smiling and above all else he was crying. It was something he never thought would happen. He exited the stage and wished his girlfriend luck. 'He make it Sasuke-kun, and I think he got the message.' was what she said before she went out onto the stage. She really was something he thought, before his mother came up and gave him a hug. 'You were GREAT Sasuke, I am so proud!' She said to him. 'Good job dude.' His brother said. Sasuke nodded his thanks. But lastly there was his father. He came up and gave Sasuke a big hug. 'I'm so sorry son, Sasuke. I didn't realize how bad ii treated you, I want to make this right. I don't know how, but I will fix this. I'm sorry and you were great out there. I didn't understand just how much you loved this and just how good you were at it.' Sasuke was in shock. Never had his father spoken so much to him in his life, even when they did get along. 'Dad, I don't forgive you… yet, but maybe some day. It helps when I have people that have always loved me here. I want to be able to talk to you.' He than walked back to the side of the stage to wait for Sakura. When she came off the stage she came and asked what happened. 'He…he…you were right. Everything's going to be better. Hey Sakura do you want to come to dinner? I think it's probably time for you to officially meet the family…'
And the rest is history.
