Paper Bag-Fiona Apple

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

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

I've gotta fold cuz these hands are too shaky to hold

Hunger hurts, 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

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...

Hunger hurts...

Hunger hurts...
