Rein Me In

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
And 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 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
