I am 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
|
|
[Additional lyrics:]
|
|
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
|
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
|
so 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
|
I pray, I pray, I pray
|
take my world apart
|
