I Had My Chance Lyrics

I had my chance and I let it go
And if I ever have myself another chance like that
I'm gonna grab it and I won't look back

Sometimes I am too careful
I walk just like I'm carrying a hand grenade
It's going tick, tick, tick
Ticking in my hand

And if I ever have myself another chance like that
I'm gonna grab it and I won't look back
I'm gonna grab it and I won't look back

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for I Had My Chance lyrics by Morphine

One of the lowest and dirtiest Morphine songs, musically. Doesn't matter the specifics of the situation, the "chance" that was missed, it's the regrets that's conveyed, and he clearly feels it DEEEEP. Love this song.
