[Verse 1]And I let go of everything I ever had'Cause I couldn't give the love you deservedBy The Gunner, you shouted, "Oh, my God"It seemed churlish, but it's what I was owed, I supposeEvery flagstone of this town bears our printsAnd all the bars 'round here serve my ghosts and carcassesI wish I knew these things when I was young'Cause now I've just gone so numb[PreChorus]We take whatever we can to get the reason backSo please, don't rein me in[Chorus]Don't rein me inPlease, don't rein me inI'm working myself up to a nice warm blissAll my memories of you ring like tinnitusIf I stop, it's just painPlease, don't rein me in[Verse 2]There's nothing brave in walking aloneLove in exile has nowhere to go, so come on homeMmm, don't wanna wait for my tendernessYou're so afraid of that heart inside of your chestWe were doing so well, but you were scared to be heldTook the easiest way outI see the tears of man too proud to reach for a penOh, let my love keep you safe now[Chorus]Please, don't, don't rein me inPlease, don't rein me inAnd I'm working myself up to a nice warm blissAll my memories of you ring like tinnitusIf I stop, it's just painPlease, don't rein me in[Bridge]And I'm, I'm stood here chewing everybody's lugs offTelling everybody how much I fucked it upTelling everybody how much I fucked it upTelling everybody but you how much I fucked it upSlow downDon't rein me inSlow downDon't rein me in[Outro]And I'm working myself up to a nice warm blissAll my memories of you ring like tinnitusIf I stop, it's just painPlease, don't rein me inAnd I'm working myself up to a nice warm blissAll my memories of you ring like tinnitusIf I stop, it's just painPlease, don't rein me in
