I let go of everything I ever had
'Cause I couldn't give the love you deserved
But 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 grown 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 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
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 it's defeat
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
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
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
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
