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 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 knows somethin' 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 kind of me That ain't bad, I found a brand new kind of free
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 been under you too long If you noticed that I'm different Don't take it personally [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/brand-new-me-lyrics-alicia-keys.html ] Don't be mad, it's just a 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, ooooh, said you look surprised
Hey hey hey, if you were a friend, you'd wanna get 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 And now my heart is open I can finally breathe Don't be mad, it's just a brand new kind of free That ain't bad, I found a brand new kind of me Don't be mad, it's a brand new time for me, yeah
