lyrics:
I used to open my door
to pretty much anyone who was trying to look for
a place to feel safe
but I made my whole world safer for everyone but me
so I took my bones and I called them my own
and I found a place inside
that’s safe for me
and now I wander the world alone but alive
and smiling on the inside
I’m taking back all the pieces of me
that were taken unwillingly
I’m offering myself up to the heavens
I’m ready to love what I’ve been given
I’m getting back to my own rhythm
it's such a new kind of living
I’m picking myself up off the carpet
I’m running my hands over my body
I’m back on land welcome to your life, Alice
I used to open my door
to pretty much anyone who was trying to look for
a place to feel safe
but I made my whole world safer for everyone but me

After growing so much mentally this past year, experiencing so much heartache with dating I look back at it all too this song. All the feelings I couldn’t explain all make sense. I had to build a home that made me feel safe.

[@jeremyeichelberger9243]

I've felt this way about older songs. This one moved me, too. Cheers, friend.

[@deonlion]

♥️

[@TheCloud785]

Who needs to date when you can preserve yourself for someone who actually sparks your entire being & soul? If they're meant to be, it will be. No need to try too hard my friend.

[@crunchy3621]

I’m checking back, thanks for the sweet messages 🙏🏾💛💛

[@mayakreiner2317]

nothing feels better than balling to this song feeling so loved from the inside after so many years without it.

[@Kgnsbdj]

i love that we progress at the same rate, this way every time i make some progress in my own life i can expect alice to already make a song about my progress

[@deonlion]

Self love is where it’s at. Finding my way there too, Alice. 💫✨🔮💙🎆

[@jamesm5148]

[@mynenorm]

I think you haven't written your best song yet, because every next song is better than previous. greetings from Ukraine! your songs help me so much, thnx, dear Alice!

[@Retromantique]

When I listened to it, I had an almost violent instant cry. It shot through my defenses like an arrow, those I put up to avoid feeling my feelings. And since then it's stuck in my head. I hope it leaves soon, it's driving me crazy, no matter how cute it is and how truthful it feels for me.

[@matias_a]

Thank you Alice (and the band) for making the world a little more peaceful and beautiful. A big hug from Argentina ☀🌗🌟

[@jaytripp2022]

Hell yea hugs from cali

[@antoniojordihonik9920]

En Cordoba la rompio!

[@FelineKnows]

I relate to this as a people pleaser but now I'm trying to heal and starting to know myself more and to try to prioritize myself and my needs first.

[@ions_]

same. i realized how much of a people pleaser i am too, earlier this year (i’m 23). and slowly, i have been getting to know pieces of me that i didn’t really pay attention to for years. it’s such a liberating experience so far. i’ve got more work to do but this is progress! 🥹 i hope you’re doing a lot better at prioritizing yourself now.

[@sumaiyasalmin1471]

I resonate with this song on a personal level, like all of your songs. Finally taking time for myself, looking out for myself, putting myself first, and you are helping me do it. Your music is life. Your music is magic.

[@FesRJoseph]

Can't stop listening to this song. The last year I've just been catching up to myself, I haven't retrieved all of my pieces, but I'm close. This song just makes me so happy, as a writer(and potential filmmaker if dreams come true) this is the type of emotion I want to express within my work. Triumphant ♥.

[@KizCat]

It will be such an intimate healing selflove album so far. ❤❤❤

[@jazminegreentea9294]

Alice (and the band) you've done it again 😭💖

[@jaytripp2022]

Lady I have no clue who you are but I discover d your music a while back and what really caught me was the take a walk on the wild side by Lou reed cover and I like was peaking on some acid and that had to be the best shit ever and is my favorite cover to this day it’s so beautiful and all of your songs you best belive I could find on KZbin I listened to and every one was so good anyway thank you for changing my life and also just thank you for making good music these days when no kids my age 15 are into good music like me and my girlfriend anyway we love you

[@georgemartinez3682]

As always, PERFECT.❤🎉🎉🎉

[@HLange-kd9qr]

What a wonderful song! ❤

[@bushrm7543]

I used to open the door for pretty much anyone too. Somehow and before I even realized it, I've lost everyone. Not that I regret anything, not that I'm grieving, but how can you give someone a genuine safe world, when you don't know what it is like to begin with.

Te quiero Phoebe, me hacés muy feliz con tu voz (:

[@hatfelts]

songs that make you feel like you're floating~❤

Thank you Alice. What an amazing song from an incredible album. I just received the CD and I encourage everyone to buy Alice's music on any format that they can (CD, LP or Digital Download). I am so sorry for the circumstances that inspired you to write this song and others. Take care of yourself and don't let the sick people of the world tarnish your beautiful soul and please keep on making music like this.

I don’t understand KZbin. KZbin, why you view this musician now? I must hear you 7 years ago minimum. With regards, your tube.

[@TomTropic]

So lovely...

[@rosalieo5045]

This reminds me of how much I've lost trying to connect with people who were toxic for me. Years and years, for nothing. It's a beautiful song but my past has not been so beautiful.
