It Should Have Been Me

---

It should have been me

To fall upon the ice.

How could it be

That you should pay the price?

It should have been me

To sacrifice for all.

So why was it you

Who had to take the fall?

---

It should have been me

To fall beneath that sword.

Perhaps if I had

I could have kept my word.

It should have been me

To die upon that field.

So why was it you

Who's fate that day I sealed?

---

It should have been me

To take that arrow too.

There's so much I have

That I now owe to you.

It should have been me

To give my life for her.

So why was it you?

Why were things as they were?
