The song is about a would-be father regretting the abortion of his child. What is left unsaid is his involvement in the decision to abort. Was he encouraging the abortion, supportive of the abortion, or was he not in favor of the abortion yet refused to go against the mother's decision. Regardless, he regrets the outcome. He ain't here to do the things a parent would do. And yet, he knows that the child would love him.
