Pirate Bones Lyrics - Blank Canvas - Natasha Bedingfield

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 want to 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 the desert with a bag full of gold 

Don't wanna end up like pirate bones 

What I thought was treasure 

Is 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 

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 

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? 

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 the desert with a bag full of gold 

Don't wanna end up like pirate bones 

What I thought was treasure 

Is just a pile of stones 

I might have the treasure 

But I'd be lying alone 

Just a pile of pirate bones 

Pirate bones 

If I forfeit my soul it ain't worth having 

If it's something I stole it ain't worth having 

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 prize 

It's only a fool's paradise 

If it's draining every drop of life 

Till I'm dry like pirate bones 

(It's not worth having) 

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 the desert with a bag full of gold 

Don't wanna end up like pirate bones 

What I thought was treasure 

Is 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) 

If I forfeit my soul it ain't worth having 

If it's something I stole it ain't worth having 

(Pirate bones) 

Pirate bones 

(While the thought was treasures) 

(Just a pile of stones) 

Pirate bones
