Should've Been Me - Citizen Way

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
