Brand New Me Songtext
von 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
Now 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
