The Gift Lyrics
Please explain a couple things to me
How you could leave and then turn your back on me
If only we said goodbye, maybe then I would respect my life
In the end I’m so ashamed of what you did
(Why) You said that you would never leave, I didn’t even see you go
(Why) You just up and turned your back on me, for reasons I will never know
(Why) Now I’m staring at an empty space, it’s the place that you used to be
(Why) And the look you see upon my face, is the gift from you to me
A haunting pain that lingers over me
This is not the way it’s supposed to be
If only we said goodbye, maybe then I would respect my life
In the end I’m so ashamed of what you did
Chorus
You made me what I am, you made me what I am
You made me what I am, you made me what I am
Chorus
Is the gift from you to me
Is the gift from you to me
How you could leave and then turn your back on me
If only we said goodbye, maybe then I would respect my life
In the end I’m so ashamed of what you did
(Why) You just up and turned your back on me, for reasons I will never know
(Why) Now I’m staring at an empty space, it’s the place that you used to be
(Why) And the look you see upon my face, is the gift from you to me
This is not the way it’s supposed to be
If only we said goodbye, maybe then I would respect my life
In the end I’m so ashamed of what you did
You made me what I am, you made me what I am
Is the gift from you to me

It's about Chris Volz's mother committing suicide when he was younger. He's also the lead singer for Flaw, so I'm pretty sure their song Whole is about the same subject: http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/43236/
After reading the lyrics and seeing the video I believe this song is about his mother commiting suicide, maybe a continuation of "Whole"
manny21 u might be dead on i havent seen the video
but on a broader scheme its just about someone leaving another person and it hurting them severly and they want a few questions answered on how and why
tell me if im wrong
Yeah dude. Took the words outta my mouth. I saw it and said "This sounds real personal." And that is sure as hell how it comes across. I think both of you are right. It kinda depends on
