Lyric discussion by worlebird 

The song's meaning is deep, but should be fairly clear. The singer is expressing his regret that he was never able to be close to his father, to express his love for his father, before his father died. Now that his fatehr is dead, it's too late to try and make up for past differences. It is implied that the relationship between the father and son was not good, and the son is now regretting his lost opportunities to make amends.
