Take It Down

Letra

[Verse 1] I typed too fast with a crowd at my back Turned one small detail to a map on a screen A kid at home with a name in the thread While strangers made plans from the words that I spread [Pre-Chorus] Then the room went quiet, the joke fell flat I saw a real life behind all that [Chorus] Take it down, take it down Let the search run cold Tell the truth, own the harm Keep that child safe at home No excuse, no applause No more passing it around I can’t undo what I put out But I can take it down [Verse 2] I saved every link, sent a warning to the site Asked the ones who shared it to erase it tonight Told a trusted adult, gave the facts, no spin There’s no brave way to hide what I did [Pre-Chorus] A screen can make a cruel thing feel small It isn’t small when it reaches their door [Chorus] Take it down, take it down Let the search run cold Tell the truth, own the harm Keep that child safe at home No excuse, no applause No more passing it around I can’t undo what I put out But I can take it down [Bridge] If you see that post, don’t quote, don’t share Report it, preserve proof, get help from someone there The kid deserves a day without fear My part is to stop this, and make the next choice clear [Final Chorus] Take it down, take it down Let the search run cold Tell the truth, own the harm Keep that child safe at home No excuse, no applause I will change what I allow I can’t undo what I put out But I can take it down [Outro] I can take it down And I can do better now
