[Verse 1] I was there when you needed me most I was there when you wanted me least I was your father, your son and your Holy Ghost and priest Through your failures and success Through your losses and gains I didn't see much happiness or pain [Chorus] I couldn't save your soul I couldn't even take you home I couldn't fill that hole Alone [Verse 2] I saw you at your best I knew you at your worst I couldn't tell if you were blessed or cursed There's a thin grey line Between the black and the white It's evidently hard to find at night [Chorus] I couldn't save your soul I couldn't even take you home I couldn't play that role Alone [Bridge] Now it's too Too late for words that should have been said Long ago [Verse 3] I was there when you needed me most I was there when you wanted me least I was your father, your son and your Holy Ghost and priest [Chorus] I couldn't save your soul I couldn't even take you home I couldn't fill that hole Alone
