Brand New Me - Alicia Keys (艾莉西亚·凯斯)

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 a 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 a 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'd been onto you too long

If you noticed that I'm different don't take it personally

Don't be mad it's just a 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 said you look surprised

Hey

If you were a friend you'd 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 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 kind of me

Don't be mad it's a brand new time for me
