that's not quite the way it sounds on the album)
A(9)
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
A(9)
With a world I try so hard to leave behind
A(9)
To rid myself of all but love, to give and die
A(9)
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
A(9)
Can I be the one to sacrifice
A(9)
Or grip the spear and watch the blood and water flow
[Chorus]
(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)
A(9)
Broken on my knees
A(9)
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
A(9)
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
[Chorus]
A(9)
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
A(9)
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
A(9)
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
A(9)
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
A(9)
And I do pray (To need you)
And I pray, and I pray
A(9)
Take my world apart On my knees
A(9)
My worlds apart
