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
What 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 losin' it?

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
Just a pile o' stones
I might have the treasure
But, I'd be lying alone
Just a pile of pirate bones

(Uh, yeah, oh, oh)
If I forfeit my soul, it ain't worth having
(Uh, yeah, oh, oh)
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 havin' too
Much of any good thing can 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

It's not worth having (It's not)
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
Just a pile o' stones
I might have the treasure
But, I'd be lyin' alone pirate bones

(Uh, yeah, oh, oh)
If I forfeit my soul, it ain't worth having
(Uh, yeah, oh, oh)
If it's something I stole
It ain't worth having

It's not worth that much to me
If losin' out is what it means
To swim in shallow victory is empty, empty
It's just not worth the price
It's only a fool's paradise
If it's draining every drop of life
'Til I'm dry like pirate bones

(It's not worth having) It's not worth having
If it's too much to hold (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
(Oh, yeah)
Don't wanna end up like pirate bones
What I thought was precious
Just a pile o' stones
(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) If I forfeit my
Soul, it ain't worth having (Whoa, oh, oh)
If it's something I stole
It ain't worth having (Pirate bones)
Pirate bones
(What I the thought was treasure
Just a pile o' stones) pirate bones
Pirate bones (Uh, yeah, oh, oh)
If I forfeit my soul, it ain't worth having
(Uh, yeah, oh, oh)
