People may look at this, as if it is a father and son relationship, however it can be explained as any kind of relationship. "Cause we lost it all, nothing lasts forever" It is like when couples fight and divorce(or break up), Even though, in their vows on paper it is said that to love to cherish forever. It is like going against all the stuff on the surface and showing how life, how reality actually is, compared to what it is always portrayed as. "Now it's just too late, and we can't go back" Its like saying that we have already been through so much hell and everything just ended in a terrible outrage and we cant go back to the way it used to be, the "perfection" of the relationship is gone. When he says "I'm sorry I cant be perfect" its as if he also is hinting a sarcastic undertone, like "Oh I'm sorry, that I cant be what you wanted me to be, I am just trying to become myself." It kills him to say that he isn't perfect, but he knows that it's true and no one can change that. Everyone was/is born with imperfections.
