Yes, I know, I am Simple Plan obsessed. I just love their music, so don't hold it against me. : ) Anyways, this song is "Perfect" (not mine), and it's between the two FF10 characters, Tidus and Jecht.


Hey, dad, look at me

Think back and talk to me.

You were supposed to be my father. The one who watches out for me, protects me, loves me. But you weren't.

Did I grow up according to plan?

You were the world-renowned Blitzball star, and I was just your son. A crybaby. A runt. A young boy that would become nothing, just what I was when I was a child.

A joke.

Do you think I'm wasting my time,

Doing things I want to do?

But look at me now. A guardian. Did you ever think I would ever make it this far? Did you ever think I would ever become anything?

Did you ever think about me?

'Cuz it hurts when you disapprove all along.

…Did you ever care?

And now I try hard to make it,

I just want to make you proud.

…It makes me wonder. Did you ever believe in me? Did you ever think I could be anything more than just a young kid that follows you around? Did you ever have faith that I could become something bigger, something better, more that just what you saw me as then?

Did you ever think?

I'm never gonna be good enough for you

Your mocks and jeers held me back. I was too scared to venture out, to try something more, for fear that you would be there, there with your usual sneer.

I can't stand another fight,

But nothing's all right.

Then you disappear, never to return. At first I was timid, waiting to turn the next corner and see you there. Then I began to realize the truth and was relieved, then joyous.

But years later, as I thought back, about you, I began to wonder.

Did I miss you?

'Cuz we lost it all

Nothing lasts forever,

It didn't matter if I missed you. You were gone. Dead. Erased from my life. I was free of you.

But still, when I think about you, a faint flicker of remorse twinges inside of me. Soon I learn to ignore it. It's nothing. But it still makes me think.

Did I miss you?

I'm sorry,

I can't be

perfect.

One night, while the others slept, I wandered away. I looked across Zanarkand, the ruins of where I once lived, grew, with you… And it still makes me wonder. What would have happened if you stayed? If you were still in Zanarkand? Would I still be there? Would I ever have met Yuna?

Now it's just to late,

And we can't go back

…Would you ever have become Sin?

I'm sorry,

I can't be

perfect.

You want me to come for you. To slay you. To end your misery. For years before, I would have happily been rid of you. Now I think about it and am hesitant. It is not your fault…is it?

Yes. It is. You were the cruel one. You were the one who mocked me. You were the one who forgot to care…

I try not to think about the pain I feel inside

Did you know you used to be my hero?

…But is that right? Is that really the truth? Is it truly your fault? Where you destined to become Sin?

When I was young I watched you with awe. I was still a distance away, out of sight, but your skill and power amazed me. But now I look at you, the beast that kills so many innocent people, and I…I pity you.

All the days you spent with me now seem so far away.

And it feels like you don't care anymore.

Pity? Is that truly what I feel? Yes. No anger. No hate. No wrath. Just sympathy.

And now I try hard to make it,

I just want to make you proud,

I'm never gonna be good enough for you.

But I should not feel this way. I should feel rage. You killed so many others, you mercilessly destroyed so many villages, caused so much pain, so much suffering…

I can't stand another fight,

And nothing's alright

Yet all I feel is pity. You are locked in that body that can only cause destruction, after being sent to destroy it. Is it your fault?

Nothing's gonna change the things that you said.

No. But can I still help you? After all the things you said back on Zanarkand? Could I possibly come to your aid, do what you want, after all those years?

And nothings gonna make this right again.

I remember how I felt. Pained, lost, as if I would never be anything. That was all provoked by you.

Please don't turn your back,

I can't believe it's hard just to talk to you

'Cuz you don't understand.

As we walk through Zanarkand, through the ruins and rubble, I question whether I could bring myself to do what I am planning, even after your cruel words and actions. Could I possibly find a way to kill you?

'Cuz we lost it all,

Nothing lasts forever

Then my gaze falls upon Yuna and the others. They count on me to help. I will have to. I will have to find a way to do what I am about to…

I'm sorry,

I can't be

Perfect.

But then Yuna will die. All because of you, she will die. So I will have too losses. My old man, and…

Now it's just to late,

And we can't go back

I sigh and close my eyes, concentrating. I can't escape it. Sin must be stopped, even if it means doing the same to Jecht. It doesn't matter. That is what you want, right?

And is it what I want, too? Do I want to be rid of you forever? Something inside me says…yes…

I'm sorry,

I can't be

I am not ashamed to say it. It is the truth. I want to be free, without someone laughing at every little mistake. I don't want to be belittled for the rest of my life.

No matter how I get it.

Perfect.


…okay, that one was a little hard. It gets a little slow there, so I apologize. Anyways, R&R, please.
