Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 Icarus I collide [Pre-Chorus 1] With a world I try so hard to leave behind To rid myself of all but love To give and die [Verse 2] 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 tear Of a world embracing every heartache [Pre-Chorus 2] Can I be the one to sacrifice Or grip the spear and watch the blood And water flow [Chorus] (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 [Verse 3] 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 [Pre-Chorus 3] Did You really have to die for me All I am for all You are 'Cause what I need and what I believe Are worlds apart And I pray [Chorus] (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 [Bridge 1] I look beyond the empty cross Forgetting what my life has cost And wipe away the crimson stains And dull the nails that still remain [Bridge 2] More and more I need you now I owe you more each passing hour Battle between grace and pride I gave up not so long ago [Bridge 3] 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 [Bridge 4] Take the beauty, take my tears Sin and soul, heart, make it yours Take my world all Take it now, take it now [Bridge 5] And serve the ones that I despise (To love you) Speak the words I can't deny (Take my world apart) Watch the world I used to love (To need you) Fall to dust and blow away (I am on my knees) [Bridge 1] I look beyond the empty cross (To love you) Forgetting what my life has cost (Take my world apart) And wipe away the crimson stains (To need you) And dull the nails that still remain (Broken on my knees) [Bridge 3] So steal my heart and take the pain (To need you) Take the selfish, take the weak And all the things I cannot hide (To need you) Take the beauty, take my tears (On my knees / To need you) [Outro] Take my world apart, take my world apart And I pray (To love you) And I pray, and I pray (On my knees) Take my world apart [Ending] Worlds apart
