“brand new”
A song from me to me. I started writing it during a very transformational time in my life. I wasn’t sure where I was landing. At 30, I am finally seeing the beginnings of the ground I now sit on. There was this fear that by changing, it meant the me before wasn’t real. However, it is okay to change, and it’s okay to be empathetic to the person you were before while fully embracing and choosing to the new version of yourself.
Heard you got a new look now
Heard you got a new phone now
The switch up look real wow, the switch up look real now
She don't even know you, I remember the real you
Is the new you true?
Can I just be the old you
Can I just see the real you
The old you
Can I just be the old you, again
Can I just see, the real you
The me I locked away, will always be here
But I overstayed, my welcome
The me that walked away, will always know me
But I overstayed, my welcome
The me that fell away, I’ll always love you
But you overstayed, my welcome
There is no need for you, yesterday, cuz I am here to stay (cuz here I am, today)
Your welcome
(Refrain)
Brand New, not actin brand new
I am the real you
I am the real you
True
