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 till 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
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
refrain:
Don't wanna end up like pirate bones
What I thought was precious just a pile o' stones
I might not have the treasure but I'll 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 its true that having 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
refrain
It's not worth 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
It's draining every drop of life till I'm dry like pirate bones
refrain
