I am the only one to blame for this
Somehow, it all adds up the same
Soaring on the wings of selfish pride
Flew too high and like Icarus, I collide
With a world I try so hard to leave behind
To rid myself of all but love, to give and die
To 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 heartache
Can I be the one to sacrifice?
Or grip the spear and watch the blood and water flow
To 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
All said and done, I stand alone
Amongst remains of a life I should not own
Takes all I am to believe
In the mercy that covers me
Did you really have to die for me?
All I am, for all you are
Of what I need and what I believe
Are worlds apart, and I pray
To 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 knees...
I look beyond the empty cross, forgetting what my life has cost
And wipe away the crimson stains, dull the nails that still remains
More and more, I need you now, I owe you more each passing hour
Battle between grace and pride, gave up not so long ago
So, 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 hide
Take the beauty, take my tears, the sinning-soaked heart, make it yours
Take my world all apart, take it now, take it now
And serve the ones that I despise, speak the words I can't deny (to love you, take myworld apart)
Watch the world I used to love fall to dust and thrown away (to need you, I am on myknees)
I look beyond the empty cross, forgetting what my life has cost (to love you, take myworld apart)
So wipe away the crimson stains and dull the nails that still remain (to need you, I am onmy knees)
So steal my heart and take the pain, take the selfish, take the weak (to love you, take myworld)
And all the things I cannot hide, take the beauty, take my tears (to need you, on myknees)
Take my world apart, take my world apart (to love you)
I pray, I pray, I pray, take my world apart, world apart (to need you, on my knees)
