i used to be cringe

Charlie Puth

I, I used to be cringe
Just so I could fit in
And have a seat at the table
Time, time passed me, it did
I burned more than one bridge
Please forgive me if you re able

I used to dream of buying mansions
In the city where they re acting
In the movies that I love
I always thought if I got closer
And I maintained my composure
I could live out all my dreams at once

I (I) I used to be cringe (I used to be cringe)
Just so I could fit in
And have a seat at the table
Time (time) time passed me, it did (time passed me, it did)
I burned more than one bridge (ooh)
Please forgive me if you re able

I used to lie, say I was taller
And throw words around like baller
And they all said I m doing fine
I dyed my hair just for reactions
Now I m the one out here acting
Tried so hard, it actually made me cry
I (I) I used to be cringe (I used to be cringe)
Just so I could fit in
And have a seat at the table (oh)
Time (time) time passed me, it did (time passed me, it did)
I burned more than one bridge
Please forgive me if you re able

Ooh, ooh

I used to dream of buying mansions
In the city where they re acting
In the movies that I love
