The Gentle Souls

I chewed her up and threw her out

Out on the street like a garbage sack

And every day she's calling me up

I don't see why she'd wanna come back

Knocking on her best friend's door

“Is it ok if i crash here?"

She never had a fighting chance

Against a heart so full of holes

But she didn't know what she'd gotten into

She belongs with the gentle souls

There was a time I can recall

When i believed everything I said

And I can't blame her for lapping up

The petty lies that she was fed

Looking for a stranger's help

“I don't know who I should believe"

She never had a fighting chance

Against a heart so full of holes

But she didn't know what she'd gotten into

She belongs with the gentle souls

I chewed her up and threw her out

And changed the lock on my front door

She tried her key and it didn't work

I don't know why she's back for more

Knocking on her best friend's door

“Is it ok if i crash here?

She never had a fighting chance

Against a heart so full of holes

But she didn't know what she'd gotten into

Now she belongs with the gentle souls

She never had a fighting chance
