Lyrics
I haven’t felt safe since 2007
I haven’t felt safe since 2001
Pacing around my apartment
Keep my heart open
Call my friend in a cold sweat
Am I dying?
I don’t wanna be afraid of strangers or being lonely
I don’t wanna play it safe i’ll be brave.i’ll sing karaoke
I wanna smile real big
I wanna fucking live
I wanna smile real big
I wanna fucking live
I haven’t felt safe since 2007
I haven’t felt safe since 2001
I’m a little girl with a woman’s past
Never gotten used to having tits and ass
Never gotten used to living alone
I swear to god it’s gotta be unnatural
I don’t wanna be afraid of aging or gaining weight
I want to take up space
I wanna get up real early and stay up late
I wanna smile real big
I wanna fucking live
I wanna smile real big
I wanna fucking live

"I'm a little girl with a woman's past," I've been hit in my chest with this

[@the-honeyturtle]

same tbh, didnt expect that part

[@charlesosbun3642]

This song is no place for the F-word! Shame on you AND uTube! Where’s the censor?

[@abrakadar]

Of the artists I know, it's probably the most strangely low ratio of recognition and quality. This music is done soo well, it's crazy.

[@evilmark]

"I wanna take up space. I wanna get up early and stay up late..." 😭

[@V_V8838]

This song is so brave and sad and relatable at once. Thank you. I play this song to help feel strong.

[@VigilantnotMilitant]

I've been obsessively listening to this song since I first heard it on Friday. Prolly heard it like 40 times. "I wanna smile real big. I wanna f*cking live" just makes my soul soar. Thank you, Miya

[@vivianwangu4089]

I came here cause someone posted this on Heyuri. What a wonderful song!

[@ShannonMarie_aguafiestasvlogs]

So my dad recommended that I listen to your music and I’m so glad he did. Your lyrics are really powerful and moving

[@aspacelex]

How has it only been a week since this came out, this song feels eternal.

[@enthusiasticnihilst1032]

I just want you to get the recognition you deserve! >___< I love your music and honestly can't say enough positive things about it!

[@lequinntessential]

Buy her tracks off Bandcamp if you can afford it. Money is one form of recognition and it allows her to make a living out of writing awesome songs like this.

[@johnnyc.31]

@@lequinntessential I need bandcamp fridays to come back so I can buy all of her stuff

[@bretbret8293]

Might be my fave song on the album, idk, I need to listen more times

[@daniellewieners4750]

This song is so beautiful and true

[@daniellewieners4750]

Beautiful!! A beautiful woman!! I am a little girl with a woman's past.. soooooo true!!

[@art-pm6lr]

I saw you in 2017 with Foster the People and haven’t stopped listening since. Loving the new music and videos!!!:)

[@kieryweery1]

this song should be massive, whats going on

[@lequinntessential]

The outro from 2:36 is like a dream getaway; Miya's tender, bittersweet yearning is dressed in some of her fanciest falsetto, and it layers so well with the undulating, melodic guitar riffs over the steady, assuaging beat.

[@erinmaglietta2484]

My inner child needed this. Thank you for creating and sharing. Sending you love.

[@pookage]

This one might be my favourite so far! Can't wait for the tour!

[@alfalders3020]

You are AMAZING.

[@robertsantamaria2001]

Sad I missing tonight’s concert

[@Lo-bu2po]

I love the lyrics and your self expression! 🖖💓 You're encouraging and inspiring! Thank you for this.

[@davidvalliere4907]

I just heard this for the first time starting my day in the morning. What a solid wake-up vibe to soak in on a fucking Friday! Yes!!!

[@aidanspiro3594]

Beautiful

[@michaelkunz652]

diese Stimme und diese Frau....❤️🙏

[@gang96]

I love it keep going

[@ninetysevencents]

There are shared vibes between the last minute of this video and the last 30 seconds of the video for Torn where Natalie starts letting loose. Intentional or not, I appreciate the nostalgia.

[@shinyurishin]

so. good. :')

[@shubhamsaini6910]

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@naughtypanda4891]

Noticed "2007" specifically being a banner tag on Tumblr yesterday, fun coincidence or did I miss a boom in popularity?

[@backseatpocket]

Coincidence. They’re promoting a TV show set in 2007.

[@TOPpatience]

This song means so fucking much

[@24hourtomatosauce]

Soooooooo gooooooood can't wait for the tour!!!

[@SuperElmundo]

brilliant, I love it ❤

[@clairedelarbre5549]

Amazing ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@gang96]

✨✨✨

[@losangeleslovesyou]

💛

[@aspacelex]

What a fucking banger queen

[@clhhlc76]

So fuckin live!

[@clhhlc76]

It's such a sexy-cool video, to lyrics with depth. I diggit

[@aspacelex]

Is 2007 in reference to when Miya turned 18? Because based on what the song is about, 18 isn't when this stuff becomes a concern for women.
