Hunger Hurts

I am gonna wallow in my self-pity for a little longer, bear with me, or don't and skip to someone else's.

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

*chorus*
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", - (isn't that true)
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
*chorus*
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,
but 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 becuz these hands are just too shaky to hold
hunger hurts, but starving works
When it costs too much to love
Hunger hurts,
but 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 becuz these hands are just too shaky to hold
Hunger hurts,
but starving - it works,
When it costs too much to love.

Fast as you can - Fiona Apple
I let the beast in too soon
I don't know how to live without my hand on his throat
I fight him always and still
Oh darling it's so sweet
You think you know how crazy
How crazy I am
You say you don't spook easy
You won't go, but I know
And I pray that you will

Fast as you can
Baby run, free yourself of me
Fast as you can

I may be soft in your palm
But I'll soon grow hungry for a fight
And I will not let you win
My pretty mouth will frame the phrases that will
Disprove your faith in man - (oh my god, this is too true)
So if you catch me trying to find my way into your
Heart from under your skin

Fast as you can
Baby scratch me out, free yourself
Fast as you can
Fast as you can
Baby scratch me out, free yourself
Fast as you can

Sometimes my mind don't shake and shift
But most of the time, it does (this is me)
And I get to the place where I'm begging for a lift
Or I'll drown in the wonders and the was
And I'll be your girl if you say it's a gift
And you give me some more of your drugs
Yeah, I'll be your pet if you just tell me it's a gift
Cause I'm tired of whys choking on whys,
Just need a little because because
I let the beast in and then
I even tried forgiving him but it's too soon
So I'll fight again, again, again, again, again
And for a little while more
I'll soar the uneven wind
Complain and blame the sterile land
But if you're getting any bright ideas, quiet dear
I'm blooming within

Fast as you can
Baby wait watch me, I'll be out
Fast as I can
Maybe late but at least about
Fast as you can
Leave me, let this thing run its route
Fast as you can... (4x)
