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 it's 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, 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.
