Listen & view Citizen Way - Should've Been Me lyrics & tabs

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've 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 saying thank God
It leaves me saying thank God, thank God
For the should've been

I live a good life
I love a great wife
Our kids are beautiful
We got friends down the street
If I'm so thankful
Why do I easily forget?
That you died for all of this

When 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've 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 saying thank God
Leaves me saying thank God

For this heart you changed
This soul you raised
My God for taking my place
When…

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've been stains that were never washed

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've 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 saying thank God
Leaves me saying thank God
I guess it just leaves saying thank God
For the should've been
For the should've been
