about

Hi, friends!

This was my first song that I ever released once I became serious about showing my music to the world. It holds a dear place in my heart in terms of moving past whatever negativity threatens to grow in your heart, and choosing to be a kind soul.

I can genuinely say that pursuing my dream has made me a kinder person, and it feels good knowing that spending my days doing what I love has bloomed happy, healthy flowers inside of me. All I want out of this world is to help you nurture your own garden and pass that knowledge along to others. Together, we really can do anything!

lyrics

"Flowers Through My Shirt" by Anna Jean.

When you burn me with your hands
I forget what happy is
When you burn with your hands
I put on a smile and pray pretend

When you shove words down my throat
I throw up so I won’t choke
When you burn me with your hands
I become someone I can’t understand

Oh, no
Oh, no

When you push me all the way down
I come up and go back around
When you try to turn me into dirt
I grow flowers through my shirt

Oh, oh
Oh, oh

When you tell me that I’m no good
I know that you have me misunderstood
When you tell me that I’m no good
I know that I’m just misunderstood

Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

And when you push me down in the dirt
I grow flowers through my shirt
You don’t have to hold my hand
I hold myself until the end

Oh, oh
Oh, oh
These flowers do grow
Oh, oh
These flowers do grow
These flowers do grow
I grow
Oh, oh
