Right is wrong, Wrong is right Lyrics
I said, sit down this will take awhile
I got a mile
Long
Of everything that has gone wrong
Since I followed my dreams
& listened to my inner song
But girl,
It looks so good
Don't you love like you should?
I smile and say yes
Oh yes
I'm so very oh so very blessed
Then they caught on
Tried to finger print what went wrong
Waited til I showed a sign of weakness
They couldn't stand how much love and bliss
I have to offer
Because of lowsy cowards
I now am told to lie to myself
We can teach you to defend yourself
But all your relationships you believe in
Are now to be put on a shelf
So we've come to replace you
Aint that cool?
I've done everything right
I got my degree from school
Now I sit by myself
Silence is so very loud
Here goes the crowd
Hoping I'll mess it all up oh so ever loud
Which I made a mistake or 2, I did
Cos they made me look so stupid
So I did something back
Cause they were treating like Jack
I made one mistakes like everyone
Now people I don't know be giving me a heart attack
Pick up the slack?
How do I do that?
I am who I am
I comprehend where you're at
They will say anything like you aren't stable, fast, or slow enough
Enough
Who gives you the right
To challenge my beliefs
And steal my fight
I hear it on the news everyday
For years and years they toyed her pride away
The ones that cared said they'd stay
They let someone get in the way
Everyday
The ones that care for me ask
They don't know what to say
I've been handed a bunch of jack
They said there are people there too
Make sure this never happens again,
They are purposely drying up the glue
But this is how it goes
I'll wear the clown nose
And be alone
Since it hurts certain people if I'm strong
How the hell am I the one that is wrong?
I've been told following my heart isn't enough
Calling the situation for what it is, calling it bluff

Catchy title!
I like how you start in those first 3 lines, it both sets up a mood and also a pattern to the lines: 3 lines, short 1 at the end.
I think it would be great if you could repeat that pattern more. So you could re-arrange this verse like:
I smile and say yes
I'm so very oh so very blessed
Oh yes
Of course it gets much looser later on, and you may not want to re-arrange the whole thing on that basis
It feels like it's more about mood and feelings than storyline - and that's just fine. I can imagine someone reaching for this song when they just want something to vibe with their situation.

No one can ever accuse you of not expressing your emotions.
You wear your feelings on your sleeve and your not afraid to show them.
That's one of the reasons I like your posts.
Other readers may not be so tolerant though.
Those words and feelings need to be packaged in a more user-friendly format
to keep their attention.
Try to structure your verses in such a way that it takes the reader on well defined
journey.
I enjoyed it, well done.

I'm not very good at analyzing lyrics without music, but this reads like it's something very personal. I'm not sure where I'd go with this musically, but, yeah...very well done.
