What is there to say when it is too late?
Does it make a difference anymore?
Nothin' left but emptiness that keeps me in despair
I won't find no closure in anywhere
I won't get another chance to tell you
Again I put my thoughts under the bed
Wasted time, I wasted years, and both of us to blame
Stubbornness's the winner every time
And you and I are the loser every time
'Cause you didn't want me
You didn't love me
And you weren't there to help this troubled boy
From all the mess, I got myself into
You weren't proud of me
You were ashamed of me
You couldn't look me in the eyes and say
"I'm sorry that I failed you all the way"
I once had someone I called my father
Memories are fadin', but they are there
Oh, what I would give to walk into this room again
And have my daddy greet me with his smile
I can't blame it all on you, I know that
Much of this is really my own fault
But if I had mattered more and you had stuck around
I could have been the winner in this town
If only you had never let me down
'Cause you didn't want me
You didn't love me
You weren't there to help this troubled boy
From all the mess, I got myself into
You weren't proud of me
You were ashamed of me
You couldn't look me in the eyes and say
"I'm sorry that I failed you all the way"
Now, I have a beer with my two brothers
Talkin' 'bout the years we never had
Still, no matter how I feel, I still don't understand
I wish I would have told you I forgive
Oh, I wish I could have told you that I forgive
That you didn't want me
You didn't love me
You weren't there to help this troubled boy
From all the mess, I got myself into
You weren't proud of me
You were ashamed of me
You couldn't look me in the eyes and say
"I'm sorry that I failed you all the way"
