fiona apple - paper bag lyrics

“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
’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, but 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
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
