Am I Wrong
Nicky & Vinnie Lyrics

I talk things through at night that trouble me and cause me pain
I have inner conflicts that bother me and make me suffer, and I reflect on them at night.

But sometimes I find myself sleeping in the rain
Despite my attempts to resolve my issues, sometimes I still end up feeling down and helpless.

"Just be yourself", they say while holding and hugging a tree
People often give advice to be true to oneself, but some of it can seem excessive or even ridiculous.

I look in a mirror and ask "who am I allowed to be?"
I question my own identity and wonder about the limitations society puts on me.

Oh, who am I today? I am
I am unsure of my own identity that can change frequently over time.

Lost, sad, confused and naive
I feel lost and inexperienced, and my emotions fluctuate between sadness and confusion.

That's me
These feelings are part of my character and who I am as a person.

Wake up, smile, laugh at that joke
I try to maintain a happy facade despite my internal struggles.

They'll never know until I choke
Others are unaware of my mental distress until it becomes unbearable.

I can't keep going on like this
I am tired of pretending and hiding my true self, and I can no longer sustain this dishonesty.

Oh, oh
I am expressing my frustration and fatigue.

Who am I allowed to be now?
I question whether others decide or limit who I can be, and seek to redefine myself.

The sound of loneliness, the one that makes you insane
The feeling of isolation and loneliness can be overwhelming and detrimental to one's mental health.

Sometimes I speak to myself to keep a healthy brain
I use positive self-talk as a coping mechanism to maintain my wellbeing.

It hurts to think that I'm not good enough for me
I struggle with feeling inadequate and unworthy, which causes me emotional pain.

I'm not allowed to be, no
I feel constrained by societal norms and expectations that limit my self-expression.

Wake up, smile, laugh at that joke
I continue to put on a happy face despite my inner turmoil.

They'll never know until I choke
My struggles remain concealed from others until they become too much to bear.

Who am I allowed to be?
I yearn for the freedom to express my true self and question why others dictate who I should be.
