What You Need To Know About Me by Alice Minguez from Wisconsin United States

This one’s for my friends and family
And my almost lovers….
Who might not have understood
Who still might not understand

What you need to know about me
Is I grew up without a real home
What you need to know about me
Is I think that I’m better off alone
What you need to know about me
Is that abandonment makes me go wild
What you need to know about me
Is I’m a woman with the mind of a child
What you need to know about me
Is I feel things way too strong
What you need to know about me
Is I need someone to carry me home

If you’re wonderin’ why I am who I am
I made this song so you might understand
I promise I’m not really bat crazy
I’ve just been to and back
Lived a hundred thousand sorrows
And I still live in fear of tomorrow

What you need to know about me
Is my brain is an electrical storm
What you need to know about me
Is that sometimes I wish I’d never been born
What you need to know about me
Is I go silent when I get really scared
What you need to know about me
Is I feel young and so unprepared
What you need to know about me
Is most people consider me weird
What you need to know about me
Is that I really just want to be heard

If you’re wonderin’ why I am who I am

I just hope you can understand
Why I am the way that I am
