| Lyrics |
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 loveto give and die
To turn away and not become
Another nail to pierce the skin of one who lovesmore deeply than the oceans,more abundant than the tear
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 crossforgetting what my life has costand wipe away the crimson stainsand dull the nails that still remain
More and more I need you now,I owe you more each passing hourthe battle between grace and pride
I gave up not so long ago
So steal my heart and take the painand wash the feet and cleanse my pridetake the selfish, take the weak,and all the things I cannot hidetake the beauty, take my tearsthe sin-soaked heart and make it yourstake my world all aparttake it now, take it nowand serve the ones that I despisespeak the words I can't denywatch the world I used to lovefall to dust and thrown away
I look beyond the empty crossforgetting what my life has costso wipe away the crimson stainsand dull the nails that still remainso steal my heart and take the paintake the selfish, take the weakand all the things I cannot hidetake the beauty, take my tearstake my world apart, take my world apart
I pray, I pray, I praytake my world apart
