"West Of West" lyrics

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
