The Present Songtext

I said: "you know that I have wandered
by the dust here on my feet
for every present that I have squandered
on every false heart that I meet

but I can't take back what I gave them
no, I can't make right what I've made wrong
I can't pretend that I tried to save them
when they were drowning in my song

so I don't come here for a new scar
for to cover the things I've done
I just come here to see how you are
maybe see how I've become,"

well, he lay there on that iron bridge
where the earth and the waters part
he said: "hello there, well, ain't you gonna give
one more present to your own false heart?"
