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. 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. Gone and missed the school bus, have to go and call my mum. Dont know why they all make such a fuss. When it affects me. 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 .
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. Training to be a nurse, im a teacher, beautician and songs writer. Juggling so many balls gotta watch that I dont fall. I like to take risks this gives me dopamine hits.
Today im confident, bouncing, the next withdrawn, Im self doubting.
Got so much Ambition and drive
With the right support I can thrive.
