What's the right way to handle this? I feel lost, you taught me how to grow up You were my first friend I feel weightless with the heaviest thing On my chest, and it's pulling me down I should've called you back I could've called you back Now my mind is racing with things I never said I swear that I would change this Make up for time I wasted I'd hold you so much longer But I'm my father's son I didn't mean to shut you out I would've stayed home one more week I wish I knew that was the last time I would ever hear you speak So when I face those pearly gates I hope you'll be there next to me I hope we'll make up on lost time You'll see the man you knew I'd be I swear that I would change this Make up for time I wasted I'd hold you so much longer But I'm my father's son I never said goodbye I never said goodbye I never said goodbye I never said goodbye I never said goodbye I never said goodbye I never said goodbye
