Hunger Lyrics

I know I could love you,
And I so want to try.
But you know and I know it's no good,
You and I.

We can't live in a vacuum,
We can't live without friends,
And we can't live without the means to the ends -
We'd be fools to try.

You are strange
Yet strangely familiar,
And your strangeness
Causes an ache in me
That reaches out to you
Hungrily.

But life isn't like that.
It makes its demands,
And smiling into each other's eyes and holding hands
May weave us a web of lovely dreams,
But can't be reality.
It's never to be,
You and me.
We'll finish apart,
And it will break my heart.
