Lyrics:

I let go of everythin' 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

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 nothin' brave in walkin' alone

Love in exile has nowhere to go, so, come on home
Mm-mm, 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
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 chewin' everyone's lugs off
Tellin' everybody how much I fucked it up
Tellin' everybody how much I fucked it up

Tellin' everybody but you how much I fucked it up
Slow down (don't rein me in)
Slow down (don't rein me in)

Don't

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
And I'm workin' myself up to a nice, warm bliss (workin' myself)
All my memories of you ring like tinnitus (my memories of you)
If I stop, it's just pain
Please, don't rein me in
