I let go of everythin' 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 suppose
Every 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
We take whatever we can to get the reason backSo, please, don't rein me inDon't rein me inPlease, don't rein me in
I'm workin' 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
There's nothin' brave in walkin' aloneLove in exile has nowhere to go, so come on homeMm-mm, don't run away from my tendernessYou're so afraid of that heart inside of your chest
We were doin' so well, but you were scared to be heldTook the easiest way outI see the tears of a man too proud to reach for a handOh, let my love keep you safe now
So, please don'tDon't rein me inPlease, don't rein me in
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 in
And I'm, I'm stood here chewin' everyone's lugs offTelling everybody how much I - it upTelling everybody how much I - it upTelling everybody but you, how much I - 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 blissAll my memories of you ring like tinnitusIf I stop, it's just painPlease, don't rein me in
Now 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 painPlease, don't rein me in
