What's Wrong With Me? Lyrics

What’s Wrong with Me? – Julia Stone:

An expected light, why can’t I love you?
An unexpected delight, why can’t I love you?
When I’m in your arms
The world is beautiful
When I’m in your arms
I am beautiful

What’s wrong with me?
There’ is love all around
What’s wrong with me?
I keep on letting you down

When I’m in your arms
I am beautiful

What’s wrong with me?
There is love all around
What’s wrong with me?
I keep on letting you down

An unexpected light
Shines his way across the sea
Just so I don’t feel all alone
An unexpected light he chose me
Why can’t I make this light my home

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.

Such a lovely song :)

i think, it's about a boy that really loves her. He makes her feel beautiful, he makes her feel happy, but she can't fall in love with him. She likes him, and she keeps on trying to like him even more, but it's not working, maybe because she is in love with someone else ("why can't I make this light my home"). Many of her other songs with Angus are about one boy she met and who doesn't love her, so maybe this boy here wants to be her new love but she can#t forget the other one?

I feel like it's more that her love is not allowed. He loves her and she loves him, but for some reason they can't be together. It might be an affair.

This song describes my marriage. My husband and I a very good friends and spiritually in love but he feels nothing for me sexually, always blaming Ed. After 25 years he has found his sexuality in other men, no ed issues, and is very happy, pushing me to find my sexuality with others. We are ok with wanting each other to be happy. We are still friends, live in the same house, but I always wondered what’s wrong with me that our marriage wasn’t complete.
