Paper Bag

[Verse 1] I was staring at the sky, just looking for a star To pray on, or wish on, or something like that I was having a sweet fix of a daydream of a boy Whose reality I knew, was a hopeless to be had But then the dove of hope began its downward slope And I believed for a moment that my chances Were approaching to be grabbed But as it came down near, so did a weary tear I thought it was a bird, but it was just a paper bag [Hook] Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up I got to fold cause these hands are too shaky to hold Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love [Verse2] And I went crazy again today Looking for a strand to climb Looking for A little hope Baby said he couldn't stay, wouldn't put his lips to mine And a fail to kiss is a fail to cope I said, 'Honey, I don't feel so good Don't feel justified Come on put a little love here in my void,' He said 'It's all in your head,' and I said, 'So's everything' But he didn't get it I thought he was a man but he was just a little boy [Hook w/ repeats] Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up I got to fold cause these hands are too shaky to hold Hunger hurts, but starving works When it costs too much to love
