Natasha Bedingfield - Pirate Bones lyrics

What if I squeeze myself into any shape And I still don't fit? What if I bend myself so much that I break And I can't mend it? What if I burn so bright that the fire goes out And I can't stay lit? What's the point in it? I could get good at crying crocodile tears Just to get along I could carry on telling you wanna hear 'til my voice is gone But if I finally get to the place that I think is home And I don't belong What's the point in it? Where's the benefit? When I'm gaining all but I'm losing it [Chorus:] It's not worth having If it's too much to hold You can dig so deep That you're left with a hole Thirsty in a desert with a bag full of gold Don't wanna end up like pirate bones What I thought was precious was just a pile o' stones I might have the treasure but I'd be lying alone Just a pile of pirate bones If I forfeit my soul it ain't worth having If it's something I stole it ain't worth having What if I stake everything I am on a dream And it's counterfeit? If I reach the end that justifies the means Could I live with it? And if it's true that having too much of any good thing Could only make me sick What's the point in it Where's the benefit When I'm gaining all but I'm losing it Oh, oh [Chorus] It's not wroth that much to me If losing out is what it means To swim in shallow victory Is empty, empty It's just not worth the price It's only a fools paradise If it's draining every drop of life 'til I'm dry like pirate bones [Chorus]
