You're not. It's just your imagination.

The 20" wheel & tyre overall diameter is actually slightly smaller than the 19"s. So you're in fact riding lower. But we're talking just a few millimeters here. Nothing you'll notice.

But what you'll notice is the slight increase is fuel usage - due to the smaller diameter wheel/tyre combo, increase drag and weight.
