Maybe I'm just not good
Enough for you
And maybe I just don't want to
Be like you

And maybe I just don't
Want to know
How low you're ready to go
I'm not gonna change
You can't make me

You don't mean anything to me
You're what I never want to be

Tell me does it feel good
To be like you
Tell me why should I waste
My time with you

Cause maybe you always
Bring me down
I'm sick of being pushed around
I'm not gonna change
You can't make me

I know you think you know me
You don't know anything
I know you want to help me
I don't need anything
Don't tell me where to go
I don't need you to know

    General Comment:This could be towards a relationship or towards parents.
    They lyrics are self explanatory, he doesn't want to be like the person he's singing to and he knows he could be better

    General Comment:to me it sounds like the lyrics could also be directed to a parent, that is always trying to push their child in the direction they want them to go in, and are always telling them to "change"
    but the ex idea works as well

    General Comment:About someone hurting him and wanting to change the way he is but he wont let them becuase he knows what hes worth! and knows the other person doesnt do anything with good intentions.

    General Comment:So let me get this straight... it's perfectly okay for simple plan to say things like "you don't matter" and other insults, but it's bad when the older generation does the same thing. Maybe they do it because you're such whiny little shits, and they have more important things to deal with than how you feel after your dad cancelled your cell phone plan. Don't expect any help from them with your life if that's your attitude

    General Comment:Any way, it might be something you could associate it with a guy talking to his pushy girlfriend, but it seems so much like he's listening to some pompus jerk asking him to do somethin' stoopid.

    General Comment:It makes me think of things between me and the *popular* *pretty* *perfect* girls at school.... Always trying to fix my dam*ed life for me... Man, I hate my own kind.

    It also seems alot like the problems between my *best* friend and I... I can't even go into it.

    General Comment:I agree it's a really good song and it's easy to relate to it... I saw that clip of Joel singing in the chorus but in the real song it's very hard to hear his voice :( but anyway Pierre has a good voice too so...Simple Plan rox!
