All Wrong Lyrics

I don't know
I don't have a clue
It's been a year since I heard from you
But still this town reminds me of
The days when we were still in love

But I know
Once I'm all alone
My love will unfold
Once I know
You're really gone

I don't know
I don't have a clue
But you left so I'm leaving too
You know I've always tried to be
more like you and less like me

But I know
Once I'm all alone
My love will unfold
Once I know
I'm really gone

You can say what you want
But you got it all wrong
You can say what you want
I'll be biting my tongue
Even if you'll be twisting my arm
I'll stay strong
You can say what you want
But you got it all wrong

Once I'm all alone
My love will unfold
Once I know
You're really gone

I'll feel better
Once I'm out of here
I'm sure I'll see things clear
Once I know
I'm really gone

You can't
You can say what you want
But you got it wrong
You can say what you want
I'll be biting my tongue
Even if you'll be twisting my arm
I'll stay strong
You can say what you want
But you got it all wrong

Got it all wrong
Got it all wrong
You got it all wrong
Got it all wrong

I don't know
I don't have a clue
It's been a year since I heard from you
But still this town reminds me of
The days when we were still in love

But I know
Once I'm all alone
My love will unfold
Once I know
You're really gone

I don't know
I don't have a clue
But you left so I'm leaving too
You know I've always tried to be 
more like you and less like me

But I know
Once I'm all alone
My love will unfold
Once I know
I'm really gone

Once I'm all alone
My love will unfold
Once I know
You're really gone

I'll feel better
Once I'm out of here
I'm sure I'll see things clear
Once I know
I'm really gone

Got it all wrong
Got it all wrong
You got it all wrong
Got it all wrong

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for All Wrong lyrics by Perishers, The

No comments? It's a great song.. I see it as the singer is trying his best to stay strong.. when he sings 'but you left, so I'm leaving too', he sounds like hurting, with resentment but willing to move on too. He might have returned to his hometown or the city where they 'were still in love' and he admits that it gets to him but he desperately wants to believe that once he leaves he'll feel better and move on. The chorus, 'you can say what you want but you got it all wrong' sounds to me as the girl has been talking bout him with other people, perhaps saying that he's not over her or that she feels sorry for him, etc... but even though it may be true, he's staying strong and not coming back.
