A fail to kiss is a fail to cope
And I believed for a moment that
And I went crazy again today
Approaching to be grabbed
Baby said he couldn't stay
Began its downward slope
But as it came down near
But he didn't get it
But he was just a little boy
But it was just a paper bag
But then the dove of hope
Come on put a little love here in my void"
Don't feel justified.
Hunger hurts
Hunger hurts, but I want him so bad, oh it kills me
Hunger hurts, but starving works
Hunger hurts, but starving, it works
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold
I said, "Honey, I don't feel so good
I thought he was a man
I thought it was a bird
I was having a sweet fix
I was staring at the sky
Just looking for a star
Looking for a little hope
Looking for a strand to climb
My chances were
Of a daydream of a boy
So did a weary tear
To pray on or wish on
Was a hopeless to be had
When it costs too much to love
When it costs too much to love
When it costs... too much to love
Whose reality, I knew
