|
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 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 |
|
It 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 |
|
Because 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 |
|
And dull the nails that still remains |
|
More 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 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 sin-soaked heart and 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 |
|
Watch the world I used to love |
|
Fall to dust and thrown away |
|
I look beyond the empty cross |
|
Forgetting what my life has cost |
|
So wipe away the crimson stains |
|
And dull the nails that still remain |
|
Steal my heart and take the pain |
|
Take the selfish, take the weak |
|
And all the things I cannot hide |
|
Take the beauty, take my tears |
|
Take my world apart, take my world apart |
|
And I pray, and I pray, and I pray |
|
Take my world apart, world apart |
