Paper Bag

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

But 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

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

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

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 because these hands are just 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

Because I know that I'm a mess that he don't wanna clean up

I got to fold because these hands are just too shaky to hold

Hunger hurts but starving it works when it costs too much to love
