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
