Brand New Me Lyrics

Artist : ALICIA KEYS
Album : Girl On Fire
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?
Its just a brand new kinda me never 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
it took one too many excuses
One too many lies
don't be surprised, don't be surprised

If I walk a little taller
If I speak up when your wrong
If I walk a little taller
I've been on to you too long
If you notice that I'm different
don't take it personally
Don't be mad
Its just a brand new kinda me

Ooh, it took a long, long road to get here
it took a brave, brave girl to try
I've taken one too many excues
one to many lies
Don't be surprised, you look surprised

Hey, if you are 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, yea

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
I know my heart is open
and I can finally breathe
don't be mad
its just a brand new kinda free
that ain't bad
I found a brand new kinda me
don't be mad
its just a brand new time for me
