I think this song is someone who is taking a look at themselves and their actions and feeling ashamed of how things have gone for themselves and their relationships with others. I think it could be both his own bad choices and the feeling that others aren't fully genuine. When he says that he can look at anyone but you now, its the feeling of letting someone down to the degree where you know that out of anyone you could have dissapointed and hurt, you hurt that person the most.
I think the Lincoln line is referring to someone lying to him, due to the whole "honest abe" reference, and if abe bleeding... i dunno, i think this song is great because his choice of words makes way to a larger meaning
