You can train yourself to worry Cold and sleeping in a car You can burst for the cup of glory All alone in the world, in a bar I got numbers in my pocket But I've lost so many more There's one I'd give the whole wide world just to have again That I'm not allowed to call Don't make me hopeful Don't even start I'd rather go hungry I'd rather starve Ohh I might wake up and find it easy Maybe that would be a curse There's a line I'd like to walk upon, out in the road All alone on that line in re Why the hell do I do this? I just get winded when I fall But I'm sure there's a light in me, puts me ahead of the game But still you never take my call Don't make me hopeful Don't even start I'd rather go hungry I'd rather starve Don't make me hopeful Don't show me the fire You know I'd rather see nothing Than see myself a liar I was only trying to lift us up Instead I took everybody down You always promised that you'd wait As long as it takes Patiently, you're still waiting now Don't make me hopeful Don't even start You know I'd rather go hungry I'd rather starve Don't make me hopeful Like only you could Been so long being hungry To eat will be so good I will be good
