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
'Cos I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
I got to fold 'cos 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
'Cos I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
I got to fold 'cos these hands are too shaky to hold
Hunger hurts but starving works when it costs too much to love
Hunger hurts and I want him so bad oh it kills
'Cos 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 oh too much to love
Hunger hurts and I want him so bad oh it kills
Because I know that I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
I got to fold because these hands are just too shaky to hold
Hunger hurts but starving you know works when it costs too much to love
