Verse 1

Verse 1 Gonna tell you a story about me What it was like growing up undiagnosed adhd. See back then it was unheard of Especially in girls huh Full of energy I couldn't keep still, restless, sometimes I could be a little reckless. My teachers would say I was careless and that i didnt pay attention so afterschool they would put me into detention. Write lines asked to reflect on what I did. Said I dont learn my lessons and why I keep missing sessions. I dont understand why I am the way that I am. Its exhausting. Chorus Misunderstood me Its the adhd Were not the same Wired, 2 different brains I always get the blame Filled with guilt and shame Seats I wish we could trade So you can see how im made Overwhelmed an arcade Until I burn out and fade . Verse 2 I interup when you talk Go missing on sponsored walks Inherit D merits And dissapoint both my parents Get distracted in class, dont know what to do on this task, but im too embarresed to ask. I been talking real fast. Cant stop. procrastinate, this shit makes me late. Need to sit down and concentrate. Day dream kayleigh your supposed in a team. When I finish I just wanna go and let off some steam. Gone and missed the school bus, will have to go call my mum. It affects me Dont know why they all make such a fuss. Chorus Misunderstood me Its the adhd Were not the same Wired, 2 different brains I always get the blame Filled with guilt and shame Seats I wish we could trade So you can see how im made Overwhelmed an arcade Until I burn out and fade . Verse 3 Impulsive I act in the moment Provoked and lose my temper Then go home listen to my dads lecture. My superpower, hocus-pocus I hyperfocus when I find something I like then I wont lose my focus. Cant organize, constantly Get criticised, Its a condition that you dont recognise. Im good underpressure dont know why im such a stressor. Cant make important calls, wanna throw my phone at the walls. Its a struggle. Chorus Misunderstood me Its the adhd Were not the same Wired, 2 different brains I always get the blame Filled with guilt and shame Seats I wish we could trade So you can see how im made Overwhelmed an arcade Until I burn out and fade Verse 4 My life is chaotic, take me somewhere exotic. Always switching stations and easily lose my patience. Im a nurse, im a teacher, beautician and songs writer. Juggling so many balls gotta watch thst I dont fall. I like to take risks this gives me dopamine hits. Today im confident, bouncing, the next withdrawn, self doubting. Ambition and drive With the right support I can thrive.
