Eatin' My Heart Out Lyrics

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
