[Verse 1]
      
  I am the onl

       
y one to blame

 for this
       
  Somehow it a

           
ll ends up the

 
 same
         
Soaring on the

         
 wings of self

    
ish pride
              
I flew too hig

           
h and like Ica

       
rus I collide

          
With a world I

         
 try so hard t

            
o leave behind
          
To rid myself 

         
of all but lov

         
e, to give and

     
 die

[Verse 2]
       
  To turn away

        
 and not becom


e
      
  Another nail

            
 to pierce the

   
 skin of one w

ho loves
         
More deeply th

         
an the oceans,

       
 more abundant

 than the tear

s
        
Of a world emb

          
racing every h

  
eartache

          
Can I be the o

       
ne to sacrific

 
e
          
Or grip the sp

         
ear and watch 

              
the blood and 

      
water flow

[Chorus]
    
(To love you)
             
Take my world 

    
a - part
             (To  need you)
      
I am on my kne


es
       (To love you)
             
Take my world 

    
a - part
             (To  need you)
        
Broken on my k

#    
nees

[Verse 3]
         
  All said and

         
 done I stand 

 
alone
        
  Amongst rema

      
ins of a life 


I should not o

wn
         
It takes all I

    
 am to believe
         
In the mercy t

         
hat covers me

          
Did you really

         
 have to die f

     
or me
          
All I am for a

              
ll you are, wh

      
at I need
              
And what I bel

s apart

     And I pra

[Chorus]
    
(To love you)
             
Take my world

[Outro]
    
I look beyond

More and more 

I need you now
  
I owe you more

 each passing 

hour
     
The battle bet

ween grace and

 pride

so long ago
     
So steal my he

art and take t

he pain
     
And wash the f

eet and cleans

Take the selfi

sh, take the w

eak
    
And all the th

ings I cannot 

hide
 
Take the beaut

rs
    
The sin soaked

 heart and mak

e it yours
 
Take my world 

apart
 
Take it now, t

ake it now

          
And serve the 

              
ones that I de

              
spise      (To

  
 love you)
             
Speak the word

And watch the 

world I used t

o love
         
Fall to dust a

              
nd blow away  

         
         I am 

      
on my knees
                                              (To love you)
