📜 Lyrics
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
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 me 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, mmm
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
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 me 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, mmm
