The New Me

I'm no longer unhappy,
I worry less and less
I don't paint my face with makeup,
I don't dress to impress.

Since you walked in through the door,
I don't cry anymore.

I'm no longer insecure,
I don't play myself down
I don't need anyone to show me,
How to fix my crown.

Ever since you stole my heart,
My life has had a fresh, new start.

I'm no longer weighed down by life,
I don't stress over little things
And even on my darkest days,
My heart finds a way to sing.

Ever since you changed my ways,
I've been smiling every day.

I'm no longer who I was before,
I'm not a heartbroken mess
I let you fix me piece by piece,
And put my strength to the test.

You empowered me and gave me a voice,
To let you in, I made the right choice.

They say that people change you,
And now I finally see
Although you made me happier,
It was I who changed me.
