Brand New Me (Live from VH1 Storytellers)
[Spoken Intro]
Thank you so much
One, one, mmm
[Verse 1]
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 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 a brand new kinda me
Never bad
I found a brand new kind of free
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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 notice that I'm different
Don't take it personally
Don't be mad
It's just a brand new kinda me
That ain't bad
I found a brand new kind of free
[Chorus]
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, said, you look surprised
[Bridge]
Hey, if you were 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
[Verse 3]
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
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 kinda me
Don't be mad
It's just a brand new time for me, yeah
[Outro]
Thank you so much
I love everybody
Thank you so so so so much
I love y'all, it's the truth
Thank you, guys
