I'm the only one to blame for this
Somehow it all adds up the same
Soaring on the wings of selfish pride
I flew too high and like Icarus I collideWith a world I try so hard
To leave behind
To rid myself of all but love
To give and dieTo turn away and not become
Another nail to pierce the skin of one who loves
More deeply than the oceans, more abundant than the tears
Of a world embracing every heartacheCan I be the one to sacrifice
Or grip the spear and watch
The blood and water flowTo love you, take my world apart
To need you, I am on my knees
To love you, take my world apart
To need you, broken on my kneesAll said and done I stand alone
Amongst remains of a life I should not own
It takes all I am to believe
In the mercy that covers meDid you really have to die for me?
All I am for all you are
Because what I need
And what I believe are worlds apart, and I prayTo love you, take my world apart
To need you, I am on my knees
To love you, take my world apart
To need you, broken on my knees, on my kneesI look beyond the empty cross
Forgetting what my life has cost
And wipe away the crimson stains
And dull the nails that still remainsMore and more I need you now
I owe you more each passing hour
The battle between grace and pride
I gave up not so long agoSo steal my heart and take the pain
And wash the feet and cleanse my pride
Take the selfish, take the weak
And all the things I cannot hideTake the beauty, take my tears
The sin-soaked heart and make it yours
Take my world all apart
Take it now, take it nowAnd serve the ones that I despise
Speak the words I can't deny
Watch the world I used to love
Fall to dust and thrown awayI look beyond the empty cross
Forgetting what my life has cost
So wipe away the crimson stains
And dull the nails that still remainSteal my heart and take the pain
Take the selfish, take the weak
And all the things I cannot hide
Take the beauty, take my tearsTake my world apart, take my world apart
And I pray, and I pray, and I pray
Take my world apart, world apart
