- Brand New Me
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 That 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 ok 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 - De Novo Adagio

Letra
These covers, may keep me warm at night But they can't take your place, cause they never gonna hold me tight And these pillows, may let me rest my head But they cant say good night and tuck me in before I go to bed Say now baby 'girl you're better off', that's what I'm telling myself But I'm lying to myself cause I know I dont want nobody else Cause these lips are missing you Cause these lips aint kissing you These eyes put up a fight But once again, these tears always win These arms are wanting you Cause these arms aint holding you These eyes put up a fight But once again these tears always win These candles light up my room at night But they can't lid the room they way you did when you walked inside, oh baby If these walls could sing about, everything they've witnessed Oh it'd be a sad sad song, and it'll probably sound something like this Say now baby girl 'you're better off', that's what I'm telling myself But I'm lying to myself cause I know I dont want nobody else Cause these lips are missing you Cause these lips aint kissing you These eyes put up a fight But once again, these tears always win These arms are wanting you Cause these arms aint holding you These eyes put up a fight But once again these tears always win Tell me when the hell this loneliness is gonna be over When everything in this room reminds me of you Everytime I think, I'm getting closer Cause tears drown me out, once again I lose Cause these lips are missing you Cause these lips aint kissing you These eyes put up a fight But once again, these tears always win These arms are wanting you Cause these arms aint holding you These eyes put up a fight But once again these tears always win Crying like oh oh oh oh These eyes put up a fight But once again these tears always win Crying like oh oh oh oh These eyes put up a fight But once again these tears always win These eyes put up a fight But once again these tears always win - Not Even The King

Letra
What, where am i? What's life like on a train Nobody there knows your name As your decision changed Do you wish that i came ? I thought youd pick me up from work I waited for your truck for half hour I know you said you were gonna But i never thought youd leave This one thing that was made for us Chasing us, saving us I'll take one thing over everything I'll take that thing over anybody Square face and puppy eyes Foul mouth they never lied Your old man lived in the sky left you a house with a yard But you went away, a different try, find a place that's your size Too good to finish life here with me And i couldn't get you to say Why you wouldn't let me come What should be simple just ain't And it shouldn't hurt like it does This one thing is made for us Won't stay with us, it ain't saving us But i'll take one thing over everything I'll take that thing over anybody Baby hold it off clear I need a complement, just a touch from a friend I need a gentle world I need your company i'll keep One thing that was made for us Chasing us, saving us I take one thing over everything I take that thing over anybody I take one thing over everything I take that thing over anybody Anything Take one thing - 101

And, baby, there's me to make you undone Ooh, darling, there's me no use, no use, no use in pretending Oh, there's me, 101 Me, 101 So I gotta be, I gotta be I gotta be 101 Maybe it's time, maybe it's me Maybe I could be, let me pretend I gotta be, I'mma be 101 Yeah, baby
