The New Me

If you saw her in the street you might just walk on by She's so different from the girl you used to know She is living over on the other side of town She goes to places you would never go But it isn't just the surface things that alter her Though she's cut her long, blonde hair and changed her style She's grown up, she's grown wise There's a sparkle in her eyes She never has to force herself to smile. The new me is walking tall The new me thinks life's a ball She's older, she's stronger She's a trusting fool no longer She has no more tears to cry Now she holds her head up high She's not just moving on, she's glad you're gone. Oh, I thought that we were happy, for a while we were But looking back, it all feels like a dream Yes, we said the words, we lived the life, but underneath It seems you never really joined the team I'd have followed the world over if you'd asked me to But you threw my love away. like last weeks news Now you're riddled with self pity Let me tell you it ain't pretty You should have thought of what you had to lose The new me is walking tall The new me thinks life's a ball She's older, she's stronger She's a trusting fool no longer She has no more tears to cry Now she holds her head up high She's not just moving on, she's glad you're gone. If you met her now you'd find She has left you far behind She's happy to be free She's a brand new me.
