Breaking inside
Fear resonates
Within myself
Only I am to blame
This world is so cold
I seem out of place
Now i stand before them
Shackled and chained
Begging for their mercy, you
You took my place
And wore the stripes for me
Loosened my restraints
They took you into custody
Why would you do that for me
Why'd you do that for me
Look into your eyes
And you stare back at me
Your hands now bound by them
But you smile back in peace
Came to make things new
But you, you took my place
And wore the stripes for me
Loosened my restraints
They took you into custody
I watched you bleed
I saw you suffer
For my iniquities
As they drove the nails I stood in horror
Why would you do this for me
For me, yeah
All for me
Why'd you do this for me
(x2)
Stirring underneath
In you i believe
You took a wretch like me
You came to set me free
But you
You took my place
And wore the stripes for me
Loosened my restraints
They took you into custody
And I watched you bleed
I saw you suffer
For my iniquities
As they drove the nails I stood in horror
Why would you do this for me
You took my place
And wore the stripes for me
Loosened my restraints
They took you into custody
Why would you do that for me
