Should've Been Me Lyrics

It should've been me with arms open
It  should've been me that was torn
It  should've been me, I was broken
It should've been me, it should've been me

Mercy, mercy, heard my cry
Mercy,  mercy, saved my life

You  carried all of my burdens
You took 'em all to that grave
I  know You didn't deserve it
But You took my place
You traded hope for my hurting
You bore the weight of my shame
I  know You didn't deserve it
And I know it should've been me
I can't believe it
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh

It should've been me in the darkness
It should've been me that felt the pain
It should've been me brokenhearted
It should've been, oh, it should've been me
But I'm free

You carried all of my burdens
You took 'em all to that grave
I know You didn't deserve it
But You took my place
You traded hope for my hurting
You bore the weight of my shame
I know You didn't deserve it
And I know it should've been me
Oh-oh, oh-oh
I can't believe it (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Oh-oh, oh-oh
I can't believe it (Oh-oh, oh-oh)

No longer dirty, no longer afraid
I am no captive, I am no slave
No longer guilty, no longer in chains
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, I'm free

You carried all of my burdens
You took 'em all to that grave
I know You didn't deserve it
But You took my place
You traded hope for my hurting
You bore the weight of my shame
I know You didn't deserve it
And I know it should've been me
Oh-oh, oh-oh
And I know it should've been me (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Oh-oh, oh-oh
It should've been, it should've been me (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Oh-oh, oh-oh
It should've been, it should've been me (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Oh-oh, oh-oh
It should've been, it should've been me (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
I can't believe it
