By the Reins lyrics

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
