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 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 It 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 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
