I Could Be Wrong
Seven Mary Three Lyrics

My good looks won't save my kids
I am aware that my appearance will not have any impact on the well-being of my children.

From their dad's predicament.
My fatherly problems will be inherited by my kids, regardless of how I look.

They won't see my face like this
My kids will not perceive me in the same light as others do.

See my face as a shadow
They will perceive me to be hidden behind my persona, regardless of my appearance.

I could be wrong
There is a possibility that my thoughts and opinions could be inaccurate.

Or I could be strong
On the other hand, it also possible that I am confident in what I believe and say.

The penny-rate my love collects
The love I show may not have material value to others.

Could set your ass on fire
Although it may not be tangible, my love can still have a significant emotional impact.

Instead of praying thankful hallelujahs
Rather than be grateful for the love that others give, we overlook it and take it for granted.

On the wire
We rely on technology such as the internet or television to distract us from appreciating what is truly important.

You turn on your radio regardless
We sometimes listen to things without really processing the information or understanding its true implications.

As you start your car
These distractions can hinder our ability to move forward in life.

But baby don't believe it
It is important to be aware that not everything we hear or see is factual or true.

When he tells you who you are
Others may have their own opinions about us, but ultimately, we define ourselves.

He could be wrong and
The person speaking could also have inaccurate thoughts or opinions.

You could be strong
However, it is possible to be confident in who we are despite others' opinions.

You're finding out you're selfish
Sometimes, we come to the realization that we prioritize our own happiness over others, which can come across as selfish.

Because you like your happiness
There is nothing inherently wrong with wanting to be happy and satisfied with our lives.

Don't sacrifice it to the average
However, we should not compromise our own happiness to conform to societal norms or expectations.

Keep it for yourself
Ultimately, our happiness is our own responsibility and we should strive to maintain it regardless of others' opinions.

They'll buy your butterflies
Others may try to purchase or manipulate our perception of happiness, but it is ultimately up to us to define it.

And price them down
These artificial perceptions of happiness are often reduced in value due to their lack of authenticity.

To clean the racks
These perceptions are also mass-produced and commercialized to appeal to the average person.

Until a kid like you
These false perceptions are often targeted at those who are naive or inexperienced.

Can buy them back
However, we can always reclaim our own definition of happiness and not rely on external sources to provide it.
