Paper Bag |
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 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 |
-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, 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 |
