New Man

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I used to bend for the room Smile like I knew what they wanted Carry their storms in my chest Till my own heart felt haunted Gave too much, got too thin Running on empty and grateful Thought being needed was gold But it left me unstable Now I see what I owe And it starts with my breathing I don’t need to explain Every time I’m retreating [Pre-Chorus] I been learning my line Where to stop and hold it I can love from afar And still keep my soul in [Chorus] I’m a new man now I let it go I’m a new man now I move real slow No hate in my hands No weight on my chest I guard my peace That’s how I know I’m blessed I’m a new man now I let it go I’m a new man now I’m back in my road [Verse 2] You can keep all the smoke I’m not built for the circle I don’t trade my sleep For the noise of the hurtful I seen love turn to labor Seen loyalty used like a favor So I closed every door That was feeding the danger I’m not bitter, I’m clearer Not cold, just precise now If it don’t fit my future It can’t live in my house now I forgive and I leave it I don’t carry your weather I was made for a life That gets lighter and better [Pre-Chorus] I been learning my line Where to stop and hold it I can love from afar And still keep my soul in [Chorus] I’m a new man now I let it go I’m a new man now I move real slow No hate in my hands No weight on my chest I guard my peace That’s how I know I’m blessed I’m a new man now I let it go I’m a new man now I’m back in my road [Bridge] I don’t need revenge I don’t need the noise What broke me before Made a sharper voice I stand on what’s mine I stand when I’m alone Peace over proving I found my own home [Final Chorus] I’m a new man now I let it go I’m a new man now I move real slow No hate in my hands No weight on my chest I guard my peace That’s how I know I’m blessed I’m a new man now I let it go I’m a new man now I’m back in my road
