Val Brathwaite - Brand New Me lyrics

[Verse 1] It's been awhile, 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 a brand new kind of me Can't be bad, I found a brand new kind of free [Verse 2] Careful with your ego, he's the one that we should blame Had to grab my heart back, God knew 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 Never bad, I found a brand new kind of free [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] If I talk a little louder, if I speak up when you're wrong If I walk a little taller, I 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 kind of me [Chorus] 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, see you look surprised [Bridge] If you were a friend, you wanna get to know me again If your were worth a while you would be happy to see me smile I'm not expecting sorry, I'm too busy finding myself I've got this, I've found me, I've found me [Verse 4] I don't need your opinion, I'm not waiting for your okay 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 a brand new kind of free That ain't bad, it's just a brand new kind of me Don't be mad, its just a brand new time for me
