"If you ever need me [if pride would allow] and would you know how, don't waste our time, tell me now"

All you have to do is call and I will come running, grateful for the opportunity to be a part of your life. A young person commits one of the cruelest acts by withholding themselves from a parent (if a healthy relationship with that parent is possible).
Whether simply moving away, or maybe running away, the parent imagines the return of their loved kiddo: "And I would say could it be me, could it really really be me, over and over."
"Don't turn me away or let me down. [And desperately:] What can I do to keep you around!??!"
