Lyrics
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. Writing lines, Said I dont learn my lessons and ask why do I keep missing sessions.
Why I am the way that I am.
I dont understand.
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
Overwhelmed an arcade
Until I burn out and fade .
Verse 2
I interupt when you talk
Go missing on sponsored walks
Inherit D merits
And dissapoint both of 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. missed the school bus again, Dont know why they make such a fuss, When its me its affecting while you all sit and judge, feels rejecting.
Think I like living this way.
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
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 I, I Get criticised,
Its a condition that you dont recognise. Im good underpressure dont know why im such a stressor. Spontaneous, I like taking risks this gives me dopamine hits. Cant make important calls, wanna throw my phone at the walls. Always juggling too many balls. Gotta watch that I dont fall.
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
Outro
Im confident, bouncing
Then withdrawn im self doubting
Got so much Ambition and drive
The right support and I thrive
