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 but 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, he said the words
We lived the life
But underneath, it seems that 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 youre gone
If you met her now you'll find
She has left you far behind
She's happy to be free
She's a brand new me
