Perfect Essence

Been diving into my books since forever Gave up on love — probably won't get sober Walking through the park with my dog on a leash The merry-go-round feels like it'll never cease

Drowning in my coffee, bathing in my tears Hiding in my bed, wrapped up in all my fears

But one day I received a present A pretty face, a perfect essence I lost my smile — you returned it to me Oh baby, you're the gift that keeps on giving

Pour it all out, I'd do everything for you Since you saved me from the hole That was eating through my life Now you make me whole

Hmmm, hmmm

Been riding into bars with shots of Fireball Gave up on love — thought I'd never feel at all Walking through the park with my dreams barely intact The earth spins 'round — I'm slipping off the track

Drowning in my drink, bathing in my tears Hiding in my bed, covered in my fears

But one day I received a present A pretty face, a perfect essence I lost my smile — you returned it to me Oh baby, you're the gift that keeps on giving

Pour it all out, I'd do everything for you Since you saved me from the hole That was eating through my life Now you make me whole

Hmmm

Hold on to me, right this moment Are you the dream I've been waiting for Give me some time for my atonement Then maybe you'll open that door

But one day I received a present A pretty face, a perfect essence I lost my smile — you returned it to me Oh baby, you're the gift that keeps on giving

Pour it all out, I'd do everything for you Since you saved me from the hole That was eating through my life Now you make me whole

But one day I received a present A pretty face, a perfect essence I lost my smile — you returned it to me Oh baby, you're the gift that keeps on giving

Pour it all out, I'd do everything for you Since you saved me from the hole That was eating through my life Now you make me whole

You found me in the darkest of the puddles Now you're in my bedroom, giving me cuddles I'll never let go of what we've built This empire where my smile is what I've dreamt
