Brand New Me

It's been a while

I'm not who I was before

You look surprised

Your words don't burn me anymore

Been meaning to tell ya

But I guess it's clear to see

Don't be mad

It's just a brand new kinda me

It can't be bad

I found a brand new kinda free

Careful with your ego

He's the one that we should blame

Had to grab my heart back

God knows something had to change

Thought that you'd be happy

I found the one thing I need

Why you mad?

It's just a brand new kinda me

It took a long, long time to get here

It took a brave, brave girl to try

It took one too many excuses and one too many lies

Don't be surprised, don't be surprised

If I talk a little louder

If I speak up when you're wrong

If I walk a little taller

I've been under you too long

If you notice that I'm different

Don't take it personally

Don't be mad

It's just a brand new kinda me

And it ain't bad

I found a brand new kinda free

Oh, it took a long, long road to get here

It took a brave, brave girl to try

I've taken one too many excuses, one too many lies

Don't be surprised, oh said you look surprised

Hey, if you were a friend

You'd wanna get to know me again

If you were worth the while

You'd be happy to see me smile

I'm not expecting sorry

I'm too busy finding myself

I got this, I found me, I found me, yeah

I don't need your opinion

I'm not waiting for your okay

I'll never be perfect

But at least now I'm brave

And now my heart is open

I can finally breathe

Don't be mad

It's just a brand new kinda free

And that ain't bad

I found a brand new kinda me

Don't be mad

It's a brand new time for me

Yeah
