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 [another version has some additinal lines: \"Never bad I found a brand new kinda free. Ooh...\"]
[one version:] It took a long, long time to get here [another version:] 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
[one version:] If I talk a little louder [another version:] If I walk a little taller 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 [another version doesn't have these additinal lines: \"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 [one version:] It's a brand new time for me [another version:] It's just a brand new time for me
