  I  am the only one to blame for this
 
  Somehow  it all ends  up the same
 Soaring  on the wings  of selfish pride
 
 I flew  too high  and like Icharus 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 a - part
  (To need you)
 I am  on my knees
  (To love you)
 Take  my world a - part
  (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
 
 On  my knees
 I look  beyond the empty cross
 Forgetting  what my life has cost
 I wipe  away the crimson stains
 And  all the nails that still remain
 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
 My  sinful soiled heart, make it pure
 Take  my world, it all is yours
 Take  it now, take it now
 To  serve the ones that I despise (To love  you)
 Speak  the words I can't deny Take  my world a - part
  (To need you)
 And  watch the world I used to know
 
 
 Fall  to dust and blow away I am on my knees
  (To love you)
 I look  beyond the empty cross
 Forgetting  what my life has cost Take  my world a - part
  (To need you)
 So  wipe away the crimson stains
 
 
 And  all the nails that still remain Broken on my knees
  (To need you)
 And  steal my heart and take the pain
 And  take the selfish, take the weak
 
 And  all the things I cannot hide (To need you)
 Take  the beauty, take my tears
 Take  my world apart On my knees
  (To need you)
 Take  my world apart
 
 And  I do pray (To need you)
 And  I pray, and I pray
 
 
   Take my world apart On my knees
 
 My  worlds apart
