Lyrics

By the Reins

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I have not quite thrown

Enough of me away

I have tried to rip the rest of me apart

But still a little bit remains

But if you hold me too tightly by the reins

I will crumble to a powder

I will shatter and be swiftly swept away

I do still want for you to love me

I just don’t know who I am

But I know that who I’m not is who I’ve been

And I will never be again

Please don’t hold me too tightly by the reins

Or I will kick and I will buck

And I will run right out the nearest open gate

I may just graze until I’m lonesome

I might just run right back again

With my tail between my legs

And with a look that begs you baby to forgive

But if you hold me too tightly by the reins

I will crumble to a powder

I will shatter and be swiftly swept away

I do still want for you to love me

I just don’t know who I am

But I know that who I’m not is who I’ve been

And I will never be again

Please don’t hold me too tightly by the reins

Or I will kick and I will buck

And I will run right out the nearest open gate
