Song lyrics

[Verse 1:]
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 can’t mend it
What if I burned 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’s 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 losing it

[Refrain:]
It’s not worth having
If it’s too much to hold
It can dig so deep
That you’re left with a hole
Does the energizer with a bag full of gold?

Don't wanna end up like pirate bones
While the thought was treasures just a pile of stones
I might have to judge rather, than 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

[Verse 2:]
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 I have too much of any good things
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
Whoa

[Refrain:]
(It’s not worth having)
It’s not worth having
If it’s too much to hold
It can dig so deep
That you’re left with a hole
Does the energizer with a bag full of gold?

Don't wanna end up like pirate bones
While the thought was treasures just a pile of stones
I might have to judge rather, than be lying 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

[Bridge:]
It’s not worth that much to me
If loosing out is what it means
This way may shallow victory
Is empty
Empty
It’s just not worth the prize
It’s only a fools pirate dies
If it’s draining every drop of lies
‘Til I'm dry
Lie.

Pirate Bones!

[Refrain:]
It’s not worth having
(It’s not worth having)
(If it’s too much to hold)
Too much to hold
It can dig so deep
That you’re left with a hole
Does the energizer with a bag full of gold?
Whoa-oh, yeah

Don't wanna end up like pirate bones
(While the thought was treasures just a pile of stones)
Just a pile of stones
(I might have to judge, rather then be lying alone)
Just a pile of pirate bones

If I forfeit my soul
It ain't worth having
No oh whoa
(Pirate bones, pirate bones)

Pirate bones
(While the thought was treasures just a pile of....stones)
Pirate bones
(Yeah, oh)
If it’s something I stole it ain't worth having
(Yeah, oh)
