Lyrics:
I didn't mean to hurt you
When I hurt myself
It's just an empty voice screaming out for help
No I didn't mean to scare you
But I couldn't see
That when I went to hell I was taking you with me

When I close my eyes
I'm climbing in the dark
Trying not to fall apart
Sometimes I get so high
Falling is the only out I see
and I don't wanna take you down with me

(Take you down
Take you down with me)

This life is like a razor
When it cuts I bleed
But it's in my hand and I'm doin' it to me
Sometimes it's like an ocean
And it gets too deep
There's no way now you could rescue me

When I close my eyes
I'm fighting in the dark
Trying not to break your heart
Sometimes I get so high
Falling is the only out I see
And I don't wanna take you down with me

You need to let it go now
Before you drown
I know that you won't understand
But you need to let go of this hand
Cause I'm going down
And I don't wanna take you down with me

Letter:

Yo Fam,

I've been wanting to share something super personal for a while and just wasn't exactly sure how to do it. I'm at the point now where I've heard countless stories from you. Some of you have said my music changed your life, helped you through depression, addiction, a lost loved one, the list goes on. Honestly, I feel bad because you don't know how much that truly means to me, because I've been there too... In the depths.

Six years ago I overdosed on heroin. I struggled with opiate addiction from a young age. I was trapped in it, had no passion, no direction, and truly hated myself. It was such a dark time for me and my family because when it gets bad enough, hope begins to dim and there's no escaping reality. I'm not telling you to preach or say how I found some magical cure or that everyone needs to live like I do. I'm the biggest advocate for people living their own lives and spreading their own love in their own ways. I'm just sharing my story and relating because music saved my life too. With everything that has been going on with my career, I always keep reminding myself of that. My main goal with music is to try and help people overcome their struggles and also enjoy the moment.

With all that said , 'Take You Down' is about my struggles with addiction and what it can do to families and loved ones. It's more specifically about my mom, and how no matter what, she never gave up on me and always continued to see the good even though all I was doing was messing up. To anyone struggling like I did, not just with addiction but anything in life, I hope you guys can find peace in your struggles and know that anything can be overcome. I've been clean since that overdose and I owe that to finding my passion and being surrounded by the most loving people I could ever ask for. Thank you for always listening and being open. Thank you for sharing your own stories and your love of music with me. Love you all forever :)

LYRICS: 
Verse 1:
Did I say something wrong
Did you hear what I was thinking
Did I talk way too long
When I told you all my feelings
That night
Is it you,
Is it me did you find somebody better
Someone who, isn’t me,
Cause I know that I was never your type,
Never really your type

Pre-Chorus:
Overthinking's, got me drinking,
Messing with my head
Woah

Chorus:
Tell me what you hate about me
Whatever it is I'm sorry
Yea, yea, yea
Yea, yea, yea
I know I can be dramatic
But everybody said we had it
Yea, yea, yea
Yea, yea, yea
I’m coming to terms with a broken heart
I guess that sometimes good things fall apart

Verse 2:
When you said it was real guess I really did believe you,
Did you fake, how you feel, when we parked down by the river that night
That night
That night when we fogged up the windows in your best friends car,
Cause we couldn’t leave the windows down in december
Woah

Chorus:
Tell me what you hate about me
Whatever it is I'm sorry
Yea, yea, yea
Yea, yea, yea
I know I can be dramatic
But everybody said we had it
Yea, yea, yea
Yea, yea, yea
I’m coming to terms with a broken heart
I guess that sometimes good things fall apart

Pre-Chorus:
Overthinking's, got me drinking,
Messing with my head
Woah

Chorus:
Tell me what you hate about me
Whatever it is I'm sorry
Yea, yea, yea
Yea, yea, yea
I know I can be dramatic
But everybody said we had it
Yea, yea, yea
Yea, yea, yea
I’m coming to terms with a broken heart
I guess that sometimes good things fall apart
