lyrics

I numb myself so I can't feel
The fact nobody's feeling me
Place a wall between myself
And anything that looks to be
Good for once because I don't
Deserve to wear my lips out with a smile

But I swear that I'm not hungry, oh no
I've been touchstarved for a while

I hate myself so I can't know
How anyone thinks differently
Or why they'd ever let it show
That they had some love for me
Shoving them away before
They get the chance to put me on trial

But I swear that I'm not hungry, oh no
I've been touchstarved for a while

Why does it burn so hot
Why does it feel so bad
If love is what I've got
Why does it make me so mad
You want to show me your heart
But I'm too far away
We just won't connect
I can't eat these sour grapes

I threw myself away from all
The ones who tried to cling to me
An outstretched hand is just a slap
That's all that it could ever be
So before you say those cursed words
I'll leave with all I've got except my smile

But I swear that I'm not hungry, oh no
I've been touchstarved for a while

But I swear that I'm not hungry, oh no
I've been touchstarved for a while
