[Verse 1]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 grown so numb[Chorus]We take whatever we can to get the reason backSo please don’t rein me inDon’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]I wish I could tell you everythingBut my stomach was too weakSometimes it’s easier to throw away your loveInstead of accepting its defeat[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[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 downSlow down[Chorus]Now, 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 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
