Don't Make Me Hopeful Lyrics - Blindly Lonely Lovely - Josh Krajcik

You can train yourself of worry 

Cold and sleeping in a car 

You can thirst for the cup of glory 

All alone in the world, in a bar 

I've got numbers in my pocket 

But I've lost so many more 

There's one I'd give the whole wide world 

Just to have again 

That I'm not allowed to call 

Chorus 

Don't make me hopeful 

Don't even start 

I'd rather go hungry 

I'd rather starve 

I might wake up and find it easy 

Maybe that would be a curse 

There's a line I like to walk upon 

Out in the road 

All alone on that line in reverse 

Why the hell do I do this 

I just get winded when I fall 

But I'm sure that there's a light in me 

Puts me 'head of the game 

But still you never take my call 

Chorus 

Don't make me hopeful 

Don't even start 

I'd rather go hungry 

I'd rather starve 

Don't make me hopeful 

Don't show me the fire 

You know I'd rather see nothing 

Than see myself a liar 

Bridge 

I was only trying to lift us up 

Instead I took everybody down 

You always promised that you'd wait 

As long as it takes 

Patiently, you're still waiting now 

Chorus 

Don't make me hopeful 

Don't even start 

You know I'd rather go hungry 

I'd rather starve 

Don't make me hopeful 

Like only you could 

Still so long being hungry 

To eat will be so good 

It will be good
