And I let go of everything
I ever had
'Cause I couldn't give the love
you deserved
By the Gunner you shouted
Oh my God
It seemed churlish
But it's what I was owed
I suppose
Every flagstone of this town
bears our prints
And all the bars 'round here
serve my ghosts
and carcasses
I wish I knew these things
when I was young
'Cause now I've just grown
so numb
We take whatever we can
to get the reason back
So please don't rein me in
Don't rein me in
Please don't rein me in
I'm workin' myself up to a
nice warm bliss
All my memories of you
ring like tinnitus
If I stop
It's just pain
Please don't rein me in
There's nothing brave in
walking alone
Love in exile has
nowhere to go
So come on home
Mm don't run away from
my tenderness
You're so afraid of that heart
inside of your chest
We were doin' so well
But you were scared to be held
Took the easiest way out
I see the tears of a man
Too proud to reach for a hand
Well let my love keep you
safe now
So please don't
Don't rein me in
Please don't rein me in
Now I'm workin' myself up
to a nice warm bliss
All my memories of you
ring like tinnitus
If I stop
It's just pain
Please don't rein me in
And I'm
I'm stood here
chewing everyone's lugs off
Telling everybody how much
I f**ked it up
Telling everybody how much
I f**ked it up
Telling everybody but you
how much I f**ked it up
Slow down
Don't rein me in
Slow down
Don't rein me in
Oh oh oh oh
Now I'm workin' myself up
to a nice warm bliss
All my memories of you
ring like tinnitus
If I stop
It's just pain
Please don't rein me in
And I'm workin' myself up
to a nice warm bliss
All my memories of you
ring like tinnitus
If I stop
It's just pain
Please don't rein me in
