Standard (EADGBE)

  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

 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

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)

 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

  And I pray

Chorus

 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

 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

 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

 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

 And I do pray (To need you)

 And I pray, and I pray

  Take my world apart On my knees

 My worlds apart
