Release the Reins

Didn't you spend your fortune Pawning what you steal No one will name your price Advice, it wasn't real You were swimming in love, but too stubborn to know what it's made of Their eyes were white as fear Did it surprise you when you walked on water And nobody followed? Release the reins, love is gone Release the reins, but love keeps holding on Crosswinds have broken you Tore your crown in two Steady rain left me bailing again on you Oh, you were swimming in love, But too stubborn to know what it's made of Their eyes were white as fear Well, medicine eyes, didn't you mix your potion That nobody swallowed? Release the reins, love is gone Release the reins, but love keeps holding on Carving your trespasses in stone Bottled up messages of all that was done to your heart Out on the ocean, the bitter tides of life have eroded you Release the reins, love is gone Release the reins, but love keeps holding on Release the reins
