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 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 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
