Lyrics Citizen Way – Should’ve Been Me
Text:
I’ve read the story
I’ve seen the movie
I give to charity and tithe my ten percent
These I remember but I so easily forget
All these years never heard it like this
It should’ve been me
It should’ve been us
Should’ve been there hanging on a cross
All of this shame
All of these scars
Should have been stains that were never washed
Why do I hide
Why do You try over and over and over again
I guess it just leaves me sayin’ thank God
It leaves me sayin’ thank God
Thank God for the should’ve been
I live a good life
I love a great wife
Our kids are beautiful
We’ve got friends down the street
If I’m so thankful
Why do I easily forget
Oh that you died for all of this
For this heart you changed
This soul you raised
My God for taking my place
It should’ve been me
It should’ve been us
Should’ve been there hanging on a cross
All of this shame
All of these scars
Should have been stains that were never washed
Why do I hide
Why do You try over and over and over again
I guess it just leaves me sayin’ thank God
It leaves me sayin’ thank God
Thank God for the should’ve been
I live a good life
I love a great wife
Our kids are beautiful
We’ve got friends down the street
If I’m so thankful
Why do I easily forget
Oh that you died for all of this
For this heart you changed
This soul you raised
My God for taking my place
