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 you But I guess it's clear to see Don't be mad It's just the brand new kind of me Can't be bad I found a brand new kind of free Careful with your ego He's the one that we should blame Had to grab my heart back God know something had to change I thought that you'd be happy I found the one thing I need, why you mad? It's just the brand new kind of 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'd be known to you too long If you noticed that I'm different Don't take it personally Don't be mad It's just the brand new kind of me That ain't bad I found a brand new kind of 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, see, you look surprised Hey, if you were a friend You want to get know me again If you were worth a 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 And I can finally breathe Don't be mad It's just the brand new kind of free That ain't bad I found a brand new kind of me Don't be mad It's just a brand new time for me
