Paper Bag Lyrics - When The Pawn Hits - 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 too 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 grand 

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, 

He fail in kisses, I failed 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
