Brand New Me Lyrics - Alicia Keys

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? 

It's just a brand new kinda 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 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 kinda free 

Ooh, 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 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, 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 

I know my heart is open 

I can finally breathe 

Don't be mad 

It's just a brand new kinda free 

That ain't bad 

I found a brand new kinda me 

Don't be mad 

It's a brand new time for me
