I dunno if this was settled yet but I saw some interpretations of the line "Hunger hurts but starving works when it costs too much to love"... that I disagree with.
What I think it means is... well, "hunger hurts" is kind of obvious, the hunger is the wanting someone, the loving them without 'having' them... which hurts, obviously. On the other hand, she has flaws herself, and the other person might let them down, so with all that, it costs too much to love. Thus, regardless of how the hunger hurts, with all that costliness, it 'works' (reads: it's kind of like the second best option) to let the hunger do its thing so long that it has starved you, and has thus left you (ie you just get through the 'hunger' until you're over the person you're hungering for). That's what I think she meant.
