    After being married to a narcissist so many years ago. This song still pangs my heart for being grateful of the woman that fought through the abuse to find my inner strength after 8 years. I am proud of myself of finding the courage to break free to and living the life that is sacred to my soul. At the end he didn’t kill my soul - I didn’t let him

    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 the 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 know something had to change
    I thought that you'd be happy
    I found the one thing I need, why you mad
    It's just the 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 be known to you too long
    If you noticed that I'm different
    Don't take it personally
    Don't be mad, it's just the brand new kind of me
    And it 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 see you look surprised
    Hey, if you were a friend, you want to get know me again
    If you were worth a 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 okay
    I'll never be perfect, but at least now I'm brave
    Now, my heart is open
    And I can finally breathe
    Don't be mad, it's just the brand new kind of free
    That ain't bad, I found a brand new kind of me
    Don't be mad, it's just a brand new time for me

      shanna Godlychild Simpson me too girl!! He devastated me and basically waited till all the money I had, from my dad who was a Los Angeles police officer killed in the line of duty, and his multiple properties he had work so hard for was what he thought was gone. It’s been 5 yrs we divorced and he took everything I had and left me with nothing who is also believe it or not an LA officer as well as my mom and stepdad, it hurts me to the core of my soul and I still cry everyday because he also gave away my every last belonging I had an donated it to his church without my knowledge!! Including my whole entire childhood photos of my dad and family and my son and even my entire jewelry box. As well as special cartoon cells and cards drawn by my grandpa, who is the original face behind all the famous cartoons like scooby doo flinstones jetsons yogi bear Tom and jerry etc. his name is on every single episode of those re runs and my dads sister is famous in Hollywood as well with have won 3 emmys as well. But ya it’s not even about the famous part it’s about how could someone who loved u or so you thought for 16 yrs and then files for a divorce without me knowing until there was that knock at the door with someone serving you.. horrible right.. well I’m living life only because of my most precious loving kind hearted son who my ex also is keeping from me. It’s everyday I have to live w this...but you take care girl and god bless you!

    Já faz um tempo
    I'm not who I was before
    Eu não sou quem era antes
    You look surprised
    Você parece surpreso
    Your words don't burn me anymore
    Suas palavras não me queimam mais
    Been meaning to tell you
    Eu tinha a intenção de te dizer
    But I guess it's clear to see
    Mas acho que dá para perceber
    Don't be mad
    Não fique bravo
    It's just the brand new kind of me
    É apenas meu jeito novo em folha
    Can't be bad
    Não pode ficar bravo
    I found a brand new kind of free
    Encontrei um tipo de liberdade novo em folha
    Careful with your ego
    Cuidado com o seu ego
    He's the one that we should blame
    É ele que devemos culpar
    Had to grab my heart back
    Eu tive que pegar meu coração de volta
    God know something had to change
    Deus sabe que algo tinha que mudar
    I thought that you'd be happy
    Pensei que você ficaria feliz
    I found the one thing I need, why you mad?
    Encontrei o que eu preciso, por que você está bravo?
    It's just the brand new kind of me
    É apenas meu jeito novo em folha
    It took a long, long time to get here
    Foi preciso muito, muito tempo para chegar até aqui
    It took a brave, brave girl to try
    Foi preciso que uma garota corajosa tentasse
    It took one too many excuses, one too many lies
    Foram necessárias desculpas demais, mentiras demais
    Don't be surprised, don't be surprised
    Não fique surpreso, não fique surpreso
    If I talk a little louder
    Se eu falar um pouco mais alto
    If I speak up when you're wrong
    Se eu levantar a voz quando você estiver errado
    If I walk a little taller
    Se eu caminhar com mais confiança
    I'd be known to you too long
    Por muito tempo, você me conheceu
    If you noticed that I'm different
    Se você notou que estou diferente
    Don't take it personally
    Não leve para o lado pessoal
    Don't be mad
    Não fique bravo
    It's just the brand new kind of me
    É apenas meu jeito novo em folha
    That ain't bad
    Não é ruim
    I found a brand new kind of free
    Encontrei um tipo de liberdade novo em folha
    Oh, it took a long, long road to get here
    Oh, foi preciso muito, muito tempo para chegar até aqui
    It took a brave, brave girl to try
    Foi preciso que uma garota corajosa tentasse
    I've taken one too many excuses, one too many lies
    Dei desculpas demais, contei mentiras demais
    Don't be surprised, oh, see, you look surprised
    Não fique surpreso, oh, veja, você parece surpreso
    Hey, if you were a friend
    Ei, se você fosse um amigo
    You want to get know me again
    Você desejaria me conhecer de novo
    If you were worth a while
    Se você valesse a pena
    You'd be happy to see me smile
    Estaria feliz em me ver sorrir
    I'm not expecting sorry
    Não estou esperando um pedido de desculpas
    I'm too busy finding myself, I got this
    Estou muito ocupada encontrando a mim mesma, eu consegui
    I found me, I found me, yeah
    Me encontrei, me encontrei, sim
    I don't need your opinion
    Não preciso da sua opinião
    I'm not waiting for your ok
    Não estou esperando seu ok
    I'll never be perfect
    Nunca serei perfeita
    But at least now I'm brave
    Mas ao menos agora sou corajosa
    Now, my heart is open
    Agora meu coração está aberto
    And I can finally breathe
    E posso finalmente respirar
    Don't be mad
    Não fique bravo
    It's just the brand new kind of free
    É apenas o tipo de liberdade novo em folha
    That ain't bad
    Não é ruim
    I found a brand new kind of me
    Encontrei um jeito meu novo em folha
    Don't be mad
    Não fique bravo
    It's just a brand new time for me
    É um tempo novo em folha para mim
