Lyrics
0:10I was staring at the sky just looking for a star
0:15To pray on or wish on or something like that
0:20I was having a sweet fix of a daydream of a boy
0:25Whose reality I knew was a hopeless to be had
0:30But then the dove of hope began its downward slope
0:35And I believed for a moment that my chances
0:38Were approaching to be grabbed
0:40But as it came down near so did a weary tear
0:45I thought it was a bird but it was just a paper bag
0:50Hunger hurts and I want him so bad oh it kills
0:56'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
1:00I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold
1:05Hunger hurts but starving works when it costs too much to love
1:19And I went crazy again today looking for a strand to climb
1:25Looking for a little hope
1:30Baby said he couldn't stay wouldn't put his lips to mine
1:35And a fail to kiss is a fail to cope
1:38I said "Honey I don't feel so good don't feel justified
1:44Come on put a little love here in my void '
1:49He said "It's all in your head "
1:51And I said "So's everything " but he didn't get it
1:54I thought he was a man but he was just a little boy
1:59Hunger hurts and I want him so bad oh it kills
2:04'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
2:09I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold
2:15Hunger hurts but starving works when it costs too much to love
2:23Hunger hurts but I want him so bad oh it kills
2:27'Cause I know I'm a mess that he don't wanna clean up
2:33I got to fold because these hands are just too shaky to hold
2:38Hunger hurts but starving works when it costs too much to love
2:46Hunger hurts but I want him so bad oh it kills
2:50Because I know that I'm a mess that he don't wanna clean up
2:55I got to fold because these hands are just too shaky to hold
3:00Hunger hurts but starving it works when it costs too much to love
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 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
