when other people write the words you can't say

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 pirece the skin of one who loved more deeply than the ocean, 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. not much 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, for what i need and what i believe are worlds apart. and i pray to love you... take my world apart. to need you... i am on my knees. to love you... take my world apart. to nee d you... broken on my knees.
i look beyond the empty cross, forgetting what my life has cost. wipe away the crimson stain and all nails that still remain. more and more i need you now. i owe you more each passing hour. the battle between grace and pain, i gave up not so long ago. so steal my heart and take the pain. wash the feet and cleanse my pride. take the selfish, take the weak, and all the things i cannot hide . take the beauty, take the tears. sin in so far make it yours. take my world, all of it. take it now, take it now. serve the ones that i despise. take the words i cant deny. watch the world i used to know crumble down and fall away. take my world apart. and i pray... take my world apart... worlds apart.
