Paper Bag Lyrics by Fiona Apple

Paper Bag Lyrics

    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
    Cuz i know i'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
    I got to fold cuz 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
    Cuz i know i'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
    I got to fold cuz 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
    Cuz i know i'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
    I got to fold cuz these hands are too shaky to hold
    -hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love
