[Verso 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
[Coro]
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
[Verso 2]
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
[Coro]
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
Hunger hurts but I want him so bad, oh it kills
Cause I know I'm a mess that he don't wanna clean up
I got to fold cause these hands are just too shaky to hold
Hunger hurts, but starving works me
When it costs too much to love
Hunger hurts but I want him so bad, oh it kills
Cause I know I'm a mess that he don't wanna clean up
I got to fold cause these hands are just too shaky to hold
Hunger hurts, but starving, it works
When it costs too much to love, hmm hmm
