Original Lyrics
English
[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 grown so numb
[Pre-Chorus: Sam Fender]
We take whatever we can to get the reason back
So pleasе don't rein me in
[Chorus: Sam Fender]
Don't rein mе 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
I let go of everything I ever had
'Cause I couldn't give the love you deserved

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

Translation
Normal
[Verso 1: Sam Fender]
Dejé ir todo lo que alguna vez tuve
Porque no podía darte el amor que merecías
Junto a The Gunner, gritaste: "Oh Dios mío"
Parecía descortés, pero supongo que era lo que me correspondía
Cada losa de esta ciudad guarda nuestras huellas
Y todos los bares de aquí sirven a mis fantasmas y restos
Ojalá hubiera sabido estas cosas cuando era joven
Porque ahora me he vuelto tan insensible
[Pre-Coro]
Tomamos cualquier cosa que pueda devolvernos el sentido
Así que, por favor, no me detengas
[Coro]
No me detengas
Por favor, no me detengas
Estoy llevándome hacia una cálida sensación de felicidad
Todos mis recuerdos de ti resuenan como tinnitus
Si me detengo, solo queda dolor
Por favor, no me detengas
[Verso 2: Olivia Dean]
No hay nada valiente en caminar solo
El amor en el exilio no tiene adónde ir, así que vuelve a casa
No huyas de mi ternura
Tienes tanto miedo de ese corazón dentro de tu pecho
Lo estábamos haciendo tan bien, pero tenías miedo de ser amado
Elegiste la salida más fácil
Veo las lágrimas de un hombre demasiado orgulloso para pedir ayuda
Deja que mi amor te mantenga a salvo ahora
Así que, por favor, no...
[Coro]
No me detengas
Por favor, no me detengas
Ahora estoy llevándome hacia una cálida sensación de felicidad
Todos mis recuerdos de ti resuenan como tinnitus
Si me detengo, solo queda dolor
Por favor, no me detengas
[Puente]
Y aquí estoy, hablando sin parar con todos
Contándole a todo el mundo cuánto lo arruiné
Contándole a todo el mundo cuánto lo arruiné
A todos menos a ti cuánto lo arruiné
Ve más despacio
(No me detengas)
Ve más despacio
(No me detengas)
[Coro Final]
Ahora estoy llevándome hacia una cálida sensación de felicidad
Todos mis recuerdos de ti resuenan como tinnitus
Si me detengo, solo queda dolor
Por favor, no me detengas

In this song, however, the narrator begs not to be stopped because staying busy and emotionally distracted is the only way to avoid overwhelming pain. The recurring tinnitus metaphor symbolizes memories that never stop ringing in his mind, much like a constant sound that cannot be escaped.
Olivia Dean's section introduces a hopeful counterpoint. She encourages emotional openness and challenges the fear of intimacy that ultimately damaged the relationship. Together, both voices create a powerful conversation between someone trapped by regret and someone still willing to offer love and safety.
The song resonates with listeners who have experienced heartbreak, emotional avoidance, and the difficulty of accepting vulnerability. Its poetic lyrics and heartfelt performances make it one of the most emotionally impactful alternative pop songs
