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



[chorus:]

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 got to fold cuz 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



[chorus:]

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 got to fold cuz 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

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

I got to fold becuz these hands are just 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

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

i got to fold becuz these hands are just too shaky to hold

Hunger hurts,

but starving - it works,

When it cost too much to love
