[Verse 1: Sam Fender]
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

[Pre-Chorus: Sam Fender]
We take whatever we can to get the reason back
So plеase don't rein me in

[Chorus: Sam Fender]
Don't rеin 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: Olivia Dean]
There's nothing brave in walking alone
Love in exile has nowhere to go, so come on home
Mm, don't run away from my tenderness
You're so afraid of that heart inside of your chest
We were doing so well, but you were scared to be held
Took the easiest way out
I see the tears of a man too proud to reach for a hand
Well, let my love keep you safe now
So please don't
[Chorus: Sam Fender & Olivia Dean, Sam Fender]
Don't rein me in
Please don't rein me in
Now 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: Sam Fender & Olivia Dean]
And I'm, I'm stood here chewing everyone'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 (Don't rein me in)
Slow down (Don't rein me in)
Oh

[Chorus: Both, Sam Fender, Olivia Dean]
Now 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
Now I'm working myself up to a nice, warm bliss (Working myself)
All my memories of you ring like tinnitus (My memories of you)
If I stop, it's just pain, please don't rein me in
