Lyrics
Verse 1
I watched you laugh across the room
Like everything is easy for you
Like you don’t rehearse your smile in mirrors
Like I do
And I’m standing in the corner
With my phone in shaking hands
Scrolling through a thousand perfect faces
Trying to understand
Why I feel too much
Why I never feel enough
Why my heart is always racing
Like I’m running from love
And everyone’s got something to say
Like they’re saints, like they’re safe
But they don’t know what it’s like
To hate your own name
⸻
Pre-Chorus
And I keep thinking maybe I’m the problem
Maybe I’m the reason it all falls apart
Maybe I’m the flaw they keep avoiding
Like a crack in a work of art
⸻
Chorus
What’s wrong with me?
Why do I break so easily?
Why do I apologize
For taking up space, for breathing?
What’s wrong with me?
Why do their words feel like a disease?
In a world that sells perfection
Am I just a lost receipt?
And I try to be tough
But I’m tired of being strong
So tell me…
What’s wrong with me?
⸻
Verse 2
They tell me “you should smile more”
Like sadness is a choice
Like I didn’t fight my way through mornings
Just to find my voice
And the city feels like plastic
Every promise feels rehearsed
They don’t want you to be honest
They just want you to look your best
And I’ve seen friends turn into strangers
Over rumors and cheap fame
Watched them trade their souls for followers
And call it “playing the game”
And I wish I didn’t care
But I do, I always do
I’m a candle in the wind
Trying not to burn for you
⸻
Pre-Chorus
And I keep thinking maybe I’m too fragile
Maybe I’m too soft for this world outside
But maybe they’re the ones who are empty
And I’m just trying to survive
⸻
Chorus
What’s wrong with me?
Why do I break so easily?
Why do I apologize
For taking up space, for breathing?
What’s wrong with me?
Why do their words feel like a disease?
In a world that sells perfection
Am I just a lost receipt?
And I try to be tough
But I’m tired of being strong
So tell me…
What’s wrong with me?
⸻
[Bridge] (classic Taylor emotional peak)
Maybe nothing’s wrong with me
Maybe I’m just finally awake
In a world where love is currency
And hearts are meant to break
Maybe I was never meant
To fit inside their little frames
Maybe I was made for wildness
Not for shallow, pretty games
And I hate how I still crave
Their approval like a drug
But I’m learning how to hold myself
When no one shows up
I’m learning that the quiet ones
Still shine without the crowd
And I’m learning that my voice
Doesn’t need to be loud
⸻
Final Chorus
What’s wrong with me?
Maybe I’m not what they wanna see
Maybe I’m too real
For a world that’s so empty
What’s wrong with me?
Maybe I’m not broken, maybe I’m free
Maybe all this pain is proof
That I’m still feeling
And I try to be tough
But I don’t wanna pretend I’m strong
So I’ll ask the night sky softly…
What’s wrong with me?
