[Verse]

             
I was staring 

             
at the sky, ju

             
st looking for

   
 a star
             
To pray on, or

             
 wish on, or s

             
omething 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 d

             
ove of hope be

             
gan its downwa

    
rd slope
             
And I believed

              
 for a moment 

    
that my chance

s
             
Were approachi

         
ng to be grabb

ed
             
But as it came

             
 down near, so

            
 did a weary t


ear
            
I thought it w

            
as a bird, but

         
 it was just a

 paper bag


[Chorus]

             
Hunger hurts, 

         
and I want him

            
 so bad, oh it

 
 kills
             
'Cause I know 

         
I'm a mess he 

      
don't wanna cl

ean up
             
I got to fold 

             
'cause these h

        
ands are too s

        
haky to hold
           
Hunger hurts, 

             
but starving w

             
orks, when it 

            
costs too much

        
 to love


[Verse 2]

            
And I went cra

       
zy again today

,
            
Looking for a 

             
strand to clim

             
b, looking for

               
 a little hope
            
Baby said he c

              
ouldn't stay, 

            
wouldn't put h

   
is lips to min

e
            
And a fail to 

          
kiss is a fail

 to cope
             
I said, 'Honey

             
, I don't feel

             
 so good, don'

         
t feel justifi

ed
             
Come on put a 

            
little love he

          
re in my void,

' 
              
He said?'It's 

             
all in your he

                     
ad,' 
              
and I said, 'S

             
o's everything

              
,' but he didn

 
't get it 
            
I thought he w

     
as a man
           
But he was jus

t a little boy


[Chorus]

             
Hunger hurts, 

         
and I want him

            
 so bad, oh it

 
 kills
             
'Cause I know 

         
I'm a mess he 

      
don't wanna cl

ean up
             
I got to fold 

             
'cause these h

        
ands are too s

        
haky to hold
           
Hunger hurts, 

             
but starving w

             
orks, 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 he 

      
don't wanna cl

ean up
             
I got to fold 

             
'cause these h

        
ands are too s

        
haky to hold
           
Hunger hurts, 

             
but starving w

             
orks, when, wh

            
en it costs to

             
o much to love
           
Oh, hunger hur

            
ts, and I want

            
 him so bad, o

       
h it kills
             
Because I know

         
 I'm a mess th

            
at he don't wa

nna clean up
             
I got to fold 

             
'cause these h

          
ands are just 

           
too shaky to h

old
           
Hunger hurts, 

             
but starving, 

           
it works, when

              
 it costs too 

        
much to love
