Verse 1:
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
F7sus2
?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
F7sus2
?But as it came down near, so did a weary tear
F7sus2
?I thought it was a bird, but it was just a paper bag?
Chorus:
F7sus2
Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills?
F7sus2
'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
F7sus2
?I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold?
F7sus2 (hold)
Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love
Verse 2:
?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
F7sus2
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,'
F7sus2
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
F7sus2
?But he was just a little boy
