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.

[@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 🙏🏾💛💛

[@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.

[@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!

[@FelinoKnows]

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.

[@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

En Cordoba la rompio!

[@FesJ]

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 ♥.

[@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.

[@KizCat]

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

[@elyvnx]

[@SoundCastle00]

@@elyvnx thanks and can't wait.

[@Greenalex89]

Seeing her live once..Definitely something for my bucket list..

[@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.

[@deonlion]

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

[@jazminegreentea9294]

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

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.

[@chrisdeehan1098]

Your writing is very important to me, not since Alanis Morissette has there been another that allows for me not to feel alone,, it's why I come on so hard and it's really rare that an artist 🎨 has something to say.
Thank you.
