[ 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 kinda of me
Can't be bad , I found a brand new kinda of free

Careful with your ego, he’s the one that we should blame
Had to grab my heart back
God know 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 kinda of free

[Hook]
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 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

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 oooh, see you look surprised
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 trying to find myself
I've got this , I've found me I've found me yeah

[Bridge]
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 kinda free
That ain't bad, it’s just a brand new kinda of me
Don't be mad , its just a brand new time for me
