LYRICS.TXT

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
