Sunrise is my breakfast
For lunch, I just eat sand
It's nice that way because then
I don't have to wash my hands
For dinner, I go hungry
And I surely have no doubts
I'd rather sup with you
Instead of eating my heart out
Eating my heart out
I'm eating out my heart
'Cause it's been so long
Since you've been gone
And we first were apart
Now I tear my hair
And I gnash my teeth
People hear me scream and shout
Well, I'd behave much better
If I supped with you
Instead of eating my heart out
Darling, you've been gone
For nearly two full years
In all that time, my only friends
Have been the moonlight and my tears
I wish that I could eat my words
And instead say, "Be my spouse"
For your leaving's left me half a man
And turned this home into a house
Eating my heart out
I'm eating out my heart
'Cause it's been so long
Since you've been gone
And we first were apart
Now I tear my hair
And I gnash my teeth
People hear me scream and shout
Well, I'd behave much better
If I supped with you
Instead of eating my heart
Eating my heart
Eating my heart out
