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 meanin' to tell ya
 But I guess it's clear to see
 Don't be mad
 It's just a brand new kinda me
 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
 I 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, 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
 That ain't bad
 I found a brand new kinda free
 Ooh, 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 "OK"
 I'll never be perfect
 But at least now I'm brave
 Now my heart is open
 I can finally breathe
 Don't be mad
 It's just a brand new kinda free
 That ain't bad
 I found a brand new kinda me
 Don't be mad
 It's a brand new time for me
