"The Gentle Souls" lyrics

"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 okay if I crash here?"

She never had a fighting chance
Against a heart so full of holes
'Cause 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
'Cause 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 okay if I crash here?"

She never had a fighting chance
Against a heart so full of holes
'Cause she didn't know what she'd gotten into
Now she belongs with the gentle souls

Now she belongs with the gentle souls
She never had a fighting chance
