When The Pawn

Paper Bag lyrics

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
