Part
NOT Party. Party is here.
To part (to leave or to separate) or forms of that word, a portion or part of something, or the adverb "apart" or replacement elements for cars or appliances (only if it's called "a part"--we're after the word "part", not after "bolt" or "hose). "Depart" is okay.

You took the part
that once was my heart
so why not take all of me...
---Willie Nelson, and others
I keep playing your part, but it's not my scene.

Like a part of me
It speaks to the heart of me

If you leave me now
You'll take away the biggest part of me
Oooo no, baby please don't go

When you reach the part where the heartaches come
The hero would be me
But heroes often fail
If You Could Read My Mind

So many habits that we'll have to break
And yesterdays we'll have to tear apart

Wish I could be part of that world

I keep playing this song, but it's just full of words:
The movies' gonna make me a big star
Cause I can play the part so well
Buck Owens
Forgive me. Can you forgive me
And hold me in your heart,
And find some new way to love me
Now that we're apart?

So for the present dear, we'll have to part
Sleep tight my love, goodnight my love
Remember that you're my sweetheart
"Goodnight My Love"
You're part of me
From this day on
(Lerner/Loewe, from "Brigadoon")
If she isn't with me, I'll blink the lights.
To let you know tonight's the night
for me and you, my part time lover.
Stevie Wonder
...when it comes to the part where you're breaking my heart...
Take A Bow - Madonna
And if I ever find her,
We never more will part.
--"Yellow Rose of Texas," traditional American folksong. (Also, all of Emily Dickinson's poems can be song to this tune, or so I have been told.)
