7 Things
Miley Cyrus(마일리 사이러스) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sha, sha, sha

I probably shouldn't say this
But at times I get so scared
When I think about the previous
Relationship we shared
It was awesome, but we lost it
It's not possible for me not to care
And now we're standing in the rain
But nothing's ever gonna change until you hear
My dear

The seven things I hate about you
The seven things I hate about you
Oh, you
You're vain, your games, you're insecure
You love me, you like her
You made me laugh, you made me cry, I don't know which side to buy
Your friends, they're jerks, and when you act like them, just know it hurts
I wanna be with the one I know
And the seventh thing I hate the most that you do
You make me love you

It's awkward and it's silent
As I wait for you to say
But what I need to hear now your sincere apology
When you mean it, I'll believe it If you text it I'll delete it
Let's be clear
Oh, I'm not coming back
You're taking seven steps here

The seven things I hate about you
You're vain, your games, you're insecure
You love me, you like her
You made me laugh, you made me cry, I don't know which side to buy
Your friends, they're jerks, and when you act like them, just know it hurts
I wanna be with the one I know
And the seventh thing I hate the most that you do
You make me love you

Compared to all the great things
That would take too long to write
I probably should mention
The seven that I like

The seven things I like about you
Your hair, your eyes, your old Levi's
When we kiss, I'm hypnotized
You made me laugh, you made me cry, but I guess that's both that I'll have to buy
Your hand in mine when we're intertwined, everything's alright
I wanna be with the one I know
And the seventh thing I like the most that you do
You make me love you





Sha, sha, you do, oh

Overall Meaning

The song 7 Things by Miley Cyrus is a ballad about a past relationship that didn't work out. The lyrics suggest a strong emotional bond that still exists between the two individuals but also touch upon the frustration that arises from their differences. Miley shares seven things she holds against her former lover, which include their vanity, insecurity, and the fact that they always wanted her attention while also being interested in someone else. However, the chorus reveals that despite these issues, Miley still loves her ex and is overwhelmed by her emotions when she's around them. The bridge of the song gives a glimmer of hope for a resolution, expressing the need for a genuine apology.


Although the song is categorized as pop-rock, its lyrics are more in line with emo and pop-punk genres. The song's music video features Miley sporting a punk look, with dark hair, heavy makeup, and a leather jacket. The video showcases Miley scribbling words about her ex on a wall and smashing a guitar, both of which are common themes in the punk rock genre.


Line by Line Meaning

I probably shouldn't say this
I am nervous to say what I am about to say


But at times I get so scared
I am scared about what happened between us


When I think about the previous
When I think about our past relationship


Relationship we shared
Our past romantic connection


It was awesome, but we lost it
We had a great relationship, but it ended


It's not possible for me not to care
I still care about you


And now we're standing in the rain
We are currently in the rain


But nothing's ever gonna change until you hear
Our situation will not improve until you listen to me


My dear
An endearing term for you


The seven things I hate about you
These are the things that bother me about you


You're vain, your games, you're insecure
You are self-centered, play games, and lack confidence


You love me, you like her
You have mixed feelings about me and another person


You made me laugh, you made me cry, I don't know which side to buy
You made me feel both good and bad about us


Your friends, they're jerks, and when you act like them, just know it hurts
Your friends are mean, and when you act like them, it hurts me

This one thing you do bothers me the most


You make me love you
You make me feel deep affection for you


It's awkward and it's silent
Our interaction is uncomfortable and quiet


As I wait for you to say
I am waiting for you to speak


But what I need to hear now your sincere apology
I need to hear a genuine apology from you


When you mean it, I'll believe it If you text it I'll delete it
I will only believe your apology if it is genuine, and if you text me, I will delete it without reading it


Let's be clear
Let's be honest with each other


Oh, I'm not coming back
I am not returning to the relationship


You're taking seven steps here
You need to hear the seven things I have to say


The seven things I like about you
These are the things I appreciate about you


Your hair, your eyes, your old Levi's
I like your hair, eyes, and old jeans


When we kiss, I'm hypnotized
I am entranced when we kiss


You made me laugh, you made me cry, but I guess that's both that I'll have to buy
You made me feel both good and bad for us, but I accept that


Your hand in mine when we're intertwined, everything's alright
Everything feels right when we hold hands and are close


And the seventh thing I like the most that you do
This is the one thing I appreciate the most about you


You make me love you
You make me feel deep affection for you


Sha, sha, you do, oh
Sha, sha, you do, oh

My imaginary boyfriend and I always broke up and came back together with this song

Good for you. It's better to have an imaginary bf than a real one. At least the imaginary one will do things you ask of him without talking smack 😂🤣
