Lyrics
I chewed her up and threw her out
The speaker mistreated someone and discarded them.
Out on the street like a garbage sack
The person was left outside, abandoned, likened to trash.
And Everyday she's calling me up
The individual keeps contacting the speaker regularly.
I don't see why she'd want to come back
The speaker doesn't comprehend why the person wants to return.
Knocking on her best friends door
Seeking shelter at a friend's place.
Is it okay if I crash here?
Asking permission to stay over at a friend's house.
She never had a fighting chance
The person never stood a chance against the speaker's emotional vulnerabilities.
Against a heart so full of holes
The speaker's heart is depicted as damaged or incomplete.
But she didn't know what she'd gotten into
The person didn't realize what they were getting involved in.
She belongs with the gentle souls
The person is considered to belong among kind-hearted individuals.
There was a time I can recall
Recollection of a time when the speaker was more naive or sincere.
When I believed everything I said
The speaker acknowledges a past when their beliefs were more genuine.
And I can't blame her for lapping up
The person isn't blamed for believing the lies told by the speaker.
The petty lies that she was fed
The lies were small and insignificant.
Looking for a strangers help
Seeking assistance from a stranger.
I don't know who I should believe
The speaker is unsure whom to trust or believe.
She never had a fighting chance
Reiteration of the person's lack of defense against the speaker's emotional state.
Against a heart so full of holes
Repetition of the damaged nature of the speaker's heart.
But she didn't know what she'd gotten into
Reiteration of the person's unawareness of the situation they entered.
She belongs with the gentle souls
Emphasis on the person's suitability among kind-hearted individuals.
I chewed her up and threw her out
Repetition of mistreatment and rejection of the person.
And changed the lock on my front door
The speaker changed the locks to prevent the person from returning.
She tried her key and it didn't work
The person's attempt to return was unsuccessful.
I don't know why she's back for more
The speaker remains puzzled about the person's desire to return.
Knocking on her best friends door
Similar situation of seeking shelter at a friend's place as before.
Is it okay if I crash here?
Requesting permission to stay over again.
She never had a fighting chance
Reiteration of the person's vulnerability against the speaker's emotional state.
Against a heart so full of holes
Restating the damaged condition of the speaker's heart.
But she didn't know what she'd gotten into
Reiteration of the person's lack of awareness about the situation.
Now she belongs with the gentle souls
Asserting that now the person fits among kind-hearted individuals.
Now she belongs with the gentle souls
Reaffirmation of the person's belonging among gentle souls.
She never had a fighting chance
Final affirmation of the person's lack of opportunity against the speaker.
