Take This Life Apart

[Verse 1]
I’ve worn this answer till it fits
A practiced laugh, a measured yes
You know the face I bring to this
You know the parts I can’t confess

[Pre-Chorus]
If I unmake what kept me known
Who pays for what I leave undone?

[Chorus]
I want to take this life apart
Not leave you holding every shard
If I become someone unknown
Will you still find me when I’m gone?

[Verse 2]
Your Sunday stories know my name
Your trust is stitched through every year
I can’t call staying quite the same
As love, if I’m not fully here

[Pre-Chorus]
I count the cost in your own eyes
Then hear the part of me that lies

[Chorus]
I want to take this life apart
Not leave you holding every shard
If I become someone unknown
Will you still find me when I’m gone?

[Bridge]
I won’t make you bless the wreck
Or ask you to erase regret
I’ll tell you where the pieces fall
And let you choose what you can hold

[Final Chorus]
I want to take this life apart
And still be careful with your heart
If I become someone unknown
Stay if you want; I’ll let you go
