Lyrics

This is how I show my love

This is how the speaker expresses love.

I made it in my mind because

The expression of love is a mental construct.

I blame it on my A.D.D. baby

The speaker attributes their actions to Attention Deficit Disorder (A.D.D.).


This is how an angel cries

An angel is crying, and the speaker associates it with their pride.

I blame it on my own sick pride

The speaker takes responsibility for their emotional state.

Blame it on my A.D.D. baby

The actions and emotions are attributed to A.D.D. again.

Maybe I'm a different breed

The speaker suggests being a different kind of person.

Maybe I'm not listening

A lack of attentiveness is acknowledged.

Blame it on my A.D.D. baby

Blaming actions on A.D.D. is reiterated.
