Prompt / Lyrics
Intro (spoken, gentle) I’m not broken… I’m just wired different. Verse 1 My mind don’t line up neat and straight, It opens doors I didn’t mean to take, I don’t wake up lookin’ for a fight, I just see too much, too fast, too bright. I can hold a thought, then lose it quick, Then remember somethin’ nobody did, I miss small things right in my hand, But notice cracks in the bigger plan. Chorus (slow, explanatory) That’s how my mind works, every day, Not wrong — just a different way, I’m not careless, I’m not lost, I just pay attention at a different cost. Yeah that’s how my mind works, plain and true, If you lived in here… you’d get it too. Verse 2 I don’t always look you in the eye, But I hear you clearer when I don’t try, If I cut you off, it’s not disrespect, It’s fear that the thought won’t stay next. Time don’t move how you think it should, Five minutes gone, or an hour stood, I try my best, I really do, But effort don’t always look like you. Chorus That’s how my mind works, loud and wide, A hundred stations at the same damn time, I lose my keys, I lose my phone, But I don’t lose care — that’s always home. Yeah that’s how my mind works, no disguise, It’s not a flaw — it’s how I survive. Bridge (spoken, honest) I spent years thinkin’ I was lazy… Or too much… Or not enough. Turns out I was just tryin’ to live In a world built for a different brain. Verse 3 I can focus deep when the spark hits right, Lose the world from day to night, Then struggle hard with the simple stuff, That don’t mean I didn’t try enough. Some days I win, some days I don’t, Some days I push, some days I float, But every day I’m showin’ up, Even when it’s rough. Final Chorus (softer, reassuring) That’s how my mind works — now you know, Not askin’ you to fix me though, Just meet me here, don’t rush me through, I’m doin’ the best with what I do. Yeah that’s how my mind works, and I’m okay, I finally learned to say that. Outro (quiet hum) Mmmmm… This is me.
