The Gentle Souls - Eels

I cut the rope 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

Guess the hearts of former holds

'Cause she didn’t know what she’d gotten into

She belongs with the gentle souls

There was a time I can’t recall

When I believed everything I said

And I kept playing before it all built up

The petty lies that she was fed

Looking for a stranger, still

I don’t know who I should marry

She never had a fighting chance

I guess the hearts of former holds

'Cause she didn’t know what she’d gotten into

She belongs with the gentle souls

I cut the rope 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

I guess the hearts of former holds

'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
