Paper Bag
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 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 '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, 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 'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up I got to fold ecause 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 'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up I got to fold because 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 Because I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up I got to fold because these hands are too shaky to hold Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to loveabsolute favorite acerbic wit Acoustic Indie alternative alternative rock amazing amazing lyrics american angry anorexic avantgarde beautiful best song ever best songs ever blues breakup music brooky1969 - great songs list calmer catchy chick rock Chicks that Rock chill chillout cooooool downtempo easy elises favourite artists elises favourite songs english favo nu Favorite favorite songs favorites favorites ever favourite songwriters Favourites female female indie slow female singer-songwriters female vocalist female vocalists female vocals feminist fiona fiona apple flow folk for mellow moods fun girl power girls honest i like it lot indie introspection jazz jazzy lindsays winter mix Love love songs of a sort love the lyrics melancholy Mellow moody My Oxygen nostalgia nov06 one of my favorite artists eve piano piano rock pop Pop-Rock powerful regretful relaxed repeat rhythm and blues rock seen live sexy sexy girls sing along singer-songwriter smokey soft but angry Strip sultry sweet the last kiss too beautiful tori amos torn unrequited very favorites voix de femmes when the pawn when the pawn hits the conflic whimsical wistful wtp
