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 but
I want him so bad oh it kills
Cause I know that I'm a mess
He don't wanna clean up
I got to fold cause
These hands are just to shaky to hold
Hunger hurts but starving works
When it costs too much to love

I went crazy again today
Looking for a strand to climb
Looking for
A little hope

Baby said he could stay
Couldn't put his lips to mine
A fail to kiss is
A fail to cope

I said honey I don't feel so good
Don't feel justified
Cmon 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
But I want him so bad oh it kills
Cause I know that I'm a mess
He don't wanna clean up
I got to fold cause
These hands are just to shaky to hold
Hunger hurts but starving works
When it costs too much to love

Oh too much to love
Hunger hurts
But I want him so bad oh it kills
Cause I know that I'm a mess
He don't wanna clean up
I got to fold cause
These hands are just to shaky to hold
Hunger hurts but starving works
When it costs too much to love
