A New Me

I was young and, yes foolish.
I fell for everything you said.
And though at times I felt rejected,
I kept it all inside my head.
I never asked you why,
You always ran away from it,
But I won't cry,
Cause I've reinvented myself.

I'm a new me,
I'm stronger than I was before,
And I'm not hurting anymore,
And if you knew me,
You'd know just how happy I am.
When you fall in love -- blindly,
You brush away the warning signs.
And instead you find excuses,
To try
to occupy
your
mind.
It took a long, long time
For me to finally find myself,
But now I'm fine
Cause I've reinvented myself.
I'm a new me,
I'm stronger than I was before,
And I'm not hurting anymore,
So you can't fool me,
I mean every word I say,
I wasn't born just yesterday

And if you knew me,
You'd know just how happy I am.
I can't love you as a lover,
But when everything is said and done

And my song comes to an end
I might still
love you as a friend.
I'm a new me,
I'm stronger than I was before,
And I'm not hurting anymore,
So you can't fool me,
I mean every word I say,
I wasn't born just yesterday,
And if you knew me,
You'd know just how happy I am.
