Natasha Bedingfield - Pirate Bones

What if I squeezed myself into any shape
and I still don't fit.
What if I bend myself so much that I break
and I cant mend it.

What if I burned so bright that the fire goes out
and I cant stay lit.
Whats the point in it?
I could get good at crying crocodiles tears
just to get along.

I could carry on telling you what you want to hear
til my voice is gone.
But if I finally get to the place that I think is home
and I don't belong.
Whats the point in it?
Wheres the benefit?
When I'm gaining all but I'm losing it.

It's not worth having
If it's too much to hold.
You can dig so deep
That your 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 of 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 its something I stole it ain't worth having.

What if I stake everything I am on a dream
and its counterfeit?
If I reach the end that justifies the means
could I live with it?
And if its true that I have too much of any good thing
can only make me sick.
Whats the point in it?
Wheres the benefit?
When I'm gaining all, but I'm losing it.
Oooh

It's not worth having
If it's too much to hold.
You can dig so deep
That your 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 of stones
I might have the treasure, but I'd be lying alone
Pirate bones
Uh yeah oh oh
If I forfeit my soul it ain't worth having.
Uh yeah oh oh
If its something I stole it ain't worth having.

Its not worth that much to me
If loosing out is what it means
To swim in shallow victory
Is empty, empty
It's just not worth the price.
Its only a fools paradise
If its draining every drop of life
Til I'm dry.
Like.
Pirate Bones!

It's not worth having
If it's too much to hold.
You can dig so deep
That your 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 of 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.
oh oh
If its something I stole it ain't worth having.

Pirate bones
What I thought was precious just a pile of stones
mmmmm
Pirate Bones.
