You can train yourself of 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

Chorus
Don't make me hopeful
Don't even start
I'd rather go hungry
I'd rather starve

I might wake up and find it easy
Maybe that would be a curse
There's a line I like to walk upon
Out in the road
All alone on that line in reverse

Why the hell do I do this
I just get winded when I fall
But I'm sure that there's a light in me
Puts me 'head of the game
But still you never take my call

Chorus
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

Bridge
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

Chorus
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
Still so long being hungry
To eat will be so good
It will be good
