lyrics

hunger pangs at the end of the day
fever dreams, thoughts that don't fade away
i didn't know you, i didn't know you
i didn't know you well

hunger stays 'til my bones turn to dust
now you talk, now you don't, now i know that i must
i didn't hold you, i didn't hold you
i didn't hold you close

there's no taking; there's no breaking my heart
please don't pull me right back to where we started
there's no mending; you can't fight off the dark
there's no taking; there's no breaking my heart
anymore

hunger hates, hunger loves, hunger fears
seeks out things i no longer hold dear
i didn't know you, i didn't know you
i didn't know you well

hunger pains when there's too little time
time to speak, time to grow, time to clear both our minds
i didn't hold you, i didn't hold you
i didn't hold you close

there's no taking; there's no breaking my heart
please don't pull me right back to where we started
there's no mending; you can't fight off the dark
there's no taking; there's no breaking my heart
anymore

now we’re crashing down, finally reaching the end
we knew we weren’t saints, now we know we’re not friends
i didn't hold you, i didn't hold you
i didn't hold you close

there's no taking; there's no breaking my heart
please don't pull me right back to where we started
there's no mending; you can't fight off the dark
there's no taking; there's no breaking my heart
anymore
