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 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 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
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
