but I fear I have nothing to give
I have so much to lose
here in this lonely place
...
there's nothing I'd like
better than to fall
but I fear I have nothing to give

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 starvin' 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
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

The devil that you know is better than the one you don't
And so it goes.
Like lonely ghosts at a roadside cross
We stay because we don't know where else to go.

The places our old haunts
Will miss us when we're gone
We can never move on
So like lonely ghosts at a roadside cross
We stay

Speak to me, why are you building this thick brick wall to defend me when your silence is my greatest fear?
