I let go of everything I ever heard
'Cause I couldn't give the love you deserved
By the gunner, you shouted: Oh my God
It seems just, but it's what I was owed, I suppose
Every flagstone of this town, there's 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

We take whatever we can to get the reason why
So please don't rein me in (ooh)
Don't rein me in
So please don't rein me in (ooh)
I'm working myself up to a nice warm bliss
All my memories of you ring like tinnitus
If I stop, it's just paint with the rainy hand

I wish I could tell you everything
But my stomach was too weak
Sometimes it's easier to throw away you know
Instead of accepting it's defeat

Don't rein me in (ooh, ooh)
So please don't rein me in (ooh)
I'm working myself up to a nice warm bliss
All my memories of you ring like tinnitus
If I stop, it's just paint with the rainy hand

And oh, I'm stood here chewing every word
Telling everybody how much I fucked it up
Telling everybody how much I fucked it up
Telling everybody 'bout you how much I fucked it up

I'm working myself up to a nice warm bliss
Hold my memories of you in like tenderness
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
