[Chorus]
Tryna get to the bottom
Tryna get to your heart
But I don't, but I don't
But I don't know where to start
At the bottom
But I've been kept in the dark
And I don't, and I don't know where to start
No matter what I find
I'll never leave your side
Even at the bottom
I'm tryna get to the bottom

[Verse 1]
Tell me, is it something that I said?
I made you turn the other way in bed, in this bed
You've been whispering words under your breath
Wish I knew the thoughts inside your head, in your head

[Pre-Chorus]
You're distant when you're hungry
Smile when you're sad
I can read it on your body
When you're mad and you don't wanna talk it over
But this just isn't that

[Chorus]
I'm tryna get to the bottom
Tryna get to your heart
But I don't, but I don't
But I don't know where to start
At the bottom
But I've been kept in the dark
And I don't, and I don't know where to start
No matter what I find
I'll never leave your side
Even at the bottom
I'm tryna get to the bottom

[Verse 2]
Tell me, do you wanna make this work?
Do you wanna sit there in this hurt, in this hurt?
I'll know if you lend me, I can help
I really want to fix this, can't you tell?

[Pre-Chorus]
You're distant when you're hungry
Smile when you're sad
I can read it on your body
When you're mad and you don't wanna talk it over
But this just isn't that

[Chorus]
I'm tryna get to the bottom
Tryna get to your heart
But I don't, but I don't
But I don't know where to start
At the bottom
But I've been kept in the dark
And I don't, and I don't know where to start
No matter what I find
I'll never leave your side
Even at the bottom
I'm tryna get to the bottom

After getting dropped by Columbia Records at 18 years old, singer-songwriter Alec Benjamin built a following by playing in parking lots outside of Shawn Mendes and Troye Sivan concerts. The Phoenix, Arizona native caught the attention of Jon Bellion, earning a songwriting credit on Bellion’s debut album and later joined him on tour.

To build on the momentum, Benjamin began uploading new songs to his YouTube channel at a rapid clip and eventually earned on a viral hit with “I Built a Friend” and a deal with Atlantic Records.

Benjamin connects to listeners by incorporating using his life struggles to tell stories and give meaning to his songs. You can see this in “Let Me Down Slowly,” “Paper Crown,” “I Built a Friend,” “Death of a Hero,” and “If We Have Each Other.”
