Discover the story of the song > Cringe – Matt Maeson

The protagonist is singing to his partner and asking her to come see him because he's been feeling alone and lost. She tells him he looks like a bad person and that he's not the same as before. He brushes it off, saying he's just tired, but also remembers seeing her in the water. The bridge talks about how he's trying to sweat out his sins and fix his thoughts, but things don't seem to be working. The partner tells him again that he's not acting like himself and he asks if he makes her cringe, before again mentioning the image of seeing her in the water.
