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 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
I wish I could tell you everything
But my stomach was too weak
Sometimes it’s easier to throw away your love
Instead of accepting its defeat
Don’t rein me in
Please 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
And I’m, I’m stood here chewing everybody’s lugs off
Telling everybody how much I fucked it up
Telling everybody how much I fucked it up
Telling everybody but you, how much I fucked it up
Slow down
Slow down
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
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
