Parting Gift Lyrics

you make me faint but you are worth it
id walk you home if you ask it
its such a shame that she never took the blame
shes never coming round to me

you step on your cigarette
rumour has you deserve it
whos to blame that shes never coming back
shes never coming back to me
please come back to me
before i drown

this is my parting gift for you
this is my last my last chance to be true
before i get older
before you get older
this is my parting gift for you
this is my last chance to be true
before i get older
before you get older
this is my parting gift for you
this is my last chance to be true
before i get older
before you get older
and i drown

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

i agree with fairy of ice where the hell are all the comments it is one of the most beautiful inme songs me is shocked about 1 comment. this song to me is just about breaking up or letting someone go, its not bitter or aportioning blame on her, he just feels he has to let her go because its for the best, it is a v. sweet song if you think that its meant to ber about break ups :)

I've a feeling it's somehow connected with 'Chamber' given they overlap a little (with my music player, the end of Chamber is just as Dave sits down and clears his throat, and then Parting Gift is a seperate song) so perhaps this is redemption? Chamber for me feels like a relationship that he is/has been a part of, but he feels he doesn't give enough to the girl and that he doesn't deserve her/she deserves better. So this in my mind has been a way of him showing her just what she means to him before something terrible happens, like the end of the relationship.
