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...
