Brand New Me - Alicia Keys
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
Never bad
I found a brand new kinda free
It took a long long road 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
I know 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
