Am I Wrong
Tiffany Alvord Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Am I wrong for thinking out the box from where I stay?
Am I wrong for saying that I choose another way?
I ain't trying to do what everybody else doing
Just cause everybody doing what they all do
If one thing I know, I'll fall but I'll grow
I'm walking down this road of mine, this road that I call home

So am I wrong?
For thinking that we could be something for real?
Now am I wrong?
For trying to reach the things that I can't see?
But that's just how I feel,
That's just how I feel
That's just how I feel
Trying to reach the things that I can't see

Am I tripping for having a vision?
My prediction: I'ma be on the top of the world

Walk your walk and don't look back, always do what you decide
Don't let them control your life, that's just how I feel

Fight for yours and don't let go, don't let them compare you, no
Don't worry, you're not alone, that's just how we feel

Am I wrong? (Am I wrong?)
For thinking that we could be something for real?
(Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Now am I wrong? (Am I wrong?)
For trying to reach the things that I can't see?
(Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah)
But that's just how I feel
That's just how I feel
That's just how I feel
Trying to reach the things that I can't see

If you tell me I'm wrong, wrong
I don't wanna be right, right
If you tell me I'm wrong, wrong
I don't wanna be right

If you tell me I'm wrong, wrong
I don't wanna be right, right
If you tell me I'm wrong, wrong
I don't wanna be right

So am I wrong? (Am I wrong?)
For thinking that we could be something for real?
(Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Now am I wrong? (Am I wrong?)
For trying to reach the things that I can't see?
(Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah)
But that's just how I feel
That's just how I feel




That's just how I feel
Trying to reach the things that I can't see

Overall Meaning

Tiffany Alvord’s “Am I Wrong” is a song about individuality and the struggle to find oneself amidst societal pressures. The song questions whether expressing oneself differently than what is expected is wrong, and if having a unique perspective on life and ambition is worth it. The lyrics go, “Am I wrong for thinking out the box from where I stay? Am I wrong for saying that I choose another way?” Tiffany is facing the constant societal pressure of conforming and ultimately succeeding if she follows the typical footsteps of everyone else. She chooses to be different and have a unique personality, stating “I ain't trying to do what everybody else doing, Just cause everybody doing what they all do. If one thing I know, I'll fall but I'll grow”. The chorus of the song repeats the question “Am I wrong?” reflecting the constant self-doubts that arise when walking a different path than what is seemingly more fruitful.


The song also advises the listener to always follow their own path and not to back down to societal pressure. “Walk your walk and don't look back, always do what you decide. Don't let them control your life, that's just how I feel. Fight for yours and don't let go, don't let them compare you, no, Don't worry, you're not alone, that's just how we feel.” The song ultimately concludes with the question of what is considered right and wrong in life and if it matters if one is true to themselves and takes a unique path.
