He Should’ve Taken Me (Alt 3)
TitanChord
He had the chance.
Grave was open.
Name was carved.
Cold wind cutting through the yard.
They said, “This time he won’t come back.”
But I don’t stay where I get cracked.
Blood in dust.
Gun still warm.
Sky went black before the storm.
I felt that hand around my throat —
And I broke it.
He looked me in the eye —
And let me go.
He should’ve taken me.
Should’ve closed that door.
Should’ve buried me deep
In the dirt before.
Now I walk like a man
Who’s already died.
You don’t scare someone
Who came back alive.
He should’ve taken me.
Devil blinked.
Death stepped back.
Sheriff still talks about that.
They thought fear would make me fold —
But fear gets old.
I ain’t chasing heaven’s light.
I ain’t hiding from the night.
If you stand in front of me —
Stand right.
You only get one clean shot.
He should’ve taken me.
Should’ve ended it clean.
Now I move through fire
Like it ain’t even seen.
No chain on my shadow.
No dirt on my name.
If he wants me again —
He better not hesitate.
He should’ve taken me.
You don’t get second chances
With a man like me.
He should’ve taken me.
That was his mistake.
Now I don’t bend.
Now I don’t break.
You can aim.
You can try.
But I already crossed that line.
He should’ve taken me.
Timing is estimated — lines are spaced evenly across the track.

Lyrics
He had the chance.
Grave was open. Name was carved. Cold wind cutting through the yard.
They said, “This time he won’t come back.” But I don’t stay where I get cracked.
Blood in dust. Gun still warm. Sky went black before the storm.
I felt that hand around my throat — And I broke it.
He looked me in the eye — And let me go.
He should’ve taken me. Should’ve closed that door. Should’ve buried me deep In the dirt before.
Now I walk like a man Who’s already died. You don’t scare someone Who came back alive.
He should’ve taken me.
Devil blinked. Death stepped back. Sheriff still talks about that.
They thought fear would make me fold — But fear gets old.
I ain’t chasing heaven’s light. I ain’t hiding from the night.
If you stand in front of me — Stand right.
You only get one clean shot.
He should’ve taken me. Should’ve ended it clean. Now I move through fire Like it ain’t even seen.
No chain on my shadow. No dirt on my name. If he wants me again — He better not hesitate.
He should’ve taken me.
You don’t get second chances With a man like me.
He should’ve taken me. That was his mistake. Now I don’t bend. Now I don’t break.
You can aim. You can try. But I already crossed that line.
He should’ve taken me.
