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 grown so numb

We take whatever we can to get the reason back
So please don't rein me in
(Ooh) don't rein me in
(Ooh) please don't rein me in
I'm workin' 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 acceptin' its defeat

(Ooh) don't rein me in
(Ooh) please don't rein me in
I'm workin' 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

(Ooh) and I'm, I'm stood here chewin' everybody's lugs off
(Ooh) tellin' everybody how much I fucked it up
(Ooh) tellin' everybody how much I fucked it up
(Ooh) tellin' everybody but you, how much I fucked it up
Slow down
Slow down

I'm workin' 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 workin' 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
