Should've Been Me Lyrics


Jeremy Camp Should've Been Me

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Mercy, mercy, heard my cry
Mercy,  mercy, saved my life

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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)

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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
