Sounds a lot to me like Alcoholism is affecting him. Or it could be some other drug addiction that was passed down genetically. This songs makes it sound like his father ran off when he was too young to know him and then left him with nothing but some disease (alcoholism). This is why he says:
"Forgive me I inherited this
From a stranger I'll never miss(his dad left him with genes that are less than beneficial)
I'm sick(alcoholism)."
so basically i guess he is scared that he is turning out like his father and really doesn't want to. He hopes that his father is proud of how he ruined his son's life.
Idk that is just my take on it.
