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 gone so numb
We take whatever
we can to get
the reason back
So please don't rein
me in
Don't rein me in
I'm working 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 doing 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 working
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***** it up
Slow down
Don't rein me in
Don't rein me in
Now I'm working 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
