You called me up on the
phone today
Struggling with the right
words to say
Time can change
a thing or two
Time has changed the lives of
me and you
But you know
It could have been
different dad
The word brings back a
sweet memory
I'm sittin' on a bluff
on a broken tree
By my side
a distinguished man
Givin' me encouragement
Tellin' me I can
And you know
You're not there
You say Son
Let's forget the past
I want another chance
Gonna make it last
You're beggin' me
for a brand new start
Tryin' to mend a bridge
that's been blown apart
But you know
You never built it dad
And so I sit here through
the night
And I write myself to sleep
And time keeps tickin'
Time has made you
finally realize
Your loneliness and your
guilt inside
You're reachin' for somethin'
you never had
Turnin' around now
You're lookin' back
And you know
I'm not there
You say Son
Let's forget the past
I want another chance
Gonna make it last
You're beggin' me
for a brand new start
Tryin' to mend a bridge
that's been blown apart
But you know
You never built it dad
You never built it dad
You never built it dad
You never built it dad
You never built it dad
