Bring You Down Lyrics

You were the one to be true
To be down, I was
Out of the black, you brought
Me into the light now

Now take your little pills
Headlong to overkill
Resent me cause I
Represent what you hate
Don't wait, don't wait, don't wait

Now or never pull you under
I don't wanna wait to bring you down
I don't know why you've become what
I've been hating time to bring you down

Bring me up until you
Bring me down take me to
Hell bring me back I can't
Tell in the black
Bring it back, bring it back, bring it back

Now or never pull you under
I don't wanna wait to bring you down
I don't know why you've become what
I've been hating time to bring you down

Time to bring you down

I don't wanna wait
So I'm gonna say this right now
I feel my mind is going
My discontent showing
And now I know, I know
I've got to bring you down
I've got to bring you down

Now or never pull you under
I don't wanna wait to bring you down
I don't know why you've become what
I've been hating I've been run around

Now or never pull you under
I don't wanna wait to bring you down
I don't know why you've become what
I've been hating time to bring you down
Time to bring you down
Time to bring you down

You were the one to be true
To be down, I was
Out of the black, you brought
Me into the light now

Now take your little pills
Headlong to overkill
Resent me cause I
Represent what you hate
Don't wait, don't wait, don't wait

Now or never pull you under
I don't wanna wait to bring you down
I don't know why you've become what
I've been hating time to bring you down

Bring me up until you
Bring me down take me to
Hell bring me back I can't
Tell in the black
Bring it back, bring it back, bring it back

Now or never pull you under
I don't wanna wait to bring you down
I don't know why you've become what
I've been hating time to bring you down

Time to bring you down

I don't wanna wait
So I'm gonna say this right now
I feel my mind is going
My discontent showing
And now I know, I know
I've got to bring you down
I've got to bring you down

Now or never pull you under
I don't wanna wait to bring you down
I don't know why you've become what
I've been hating I've been run around

Now or never pull you under
I don't wanna wait to bring you down
I don't know why you've become what
I've been hating time to bring you down
Time to bring you down
Time to bring you down

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.

I think of it as the perspective of someone who was in a bad place at some point and was raised up by this "you" in the song. The other person was doing the guy good in the beginning, but then they tried to sculpt them into someone that they didn't want to be in the line "headlong to overkill". The person that was "true" in the beginning started to hate the guy he helped and a feud started between them. The rest of the song rides off of that conflict.
