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 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 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've been under 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 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
 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 a brand new time for me, yeah
