about

The idea for this song came to me while getting my monthly X-Ray. Reframing my trauma has been an important aspect of my recovery. I hope you feel held and seen when you're doing your best too. The day will come when you can turn and look back without fear or anger. All the love, thank you for listening ❤️‍🩹

lyrics

Put on the new gown they gave me
To take pictures
It gets easier every time
At least this time I don’t need
Somebody to hold me
No, I can stand on what’s mostly mine

Learned to love the taste of waiting
Sitting, and staring, anticipating
Bittersweet was the journey
With every step worth celebrating

I'll have my cake and eat it too
It’s the least I deserve for turning black and blue
Give me confetti and champagne
For everything I braved through
Oh
Happy Anniversary
To the things I thought would break me down
Happy Anniversary
Happy Anniversary now

It’s not the sort of celebration
You should anticipate
At 24, no
Just a little devastating
One year later, turn my tears into celebrating

I'll have my cake and eat it too
It’s the least I deserve for turning black and blue
Give me confetti and champagne
For everything I braved through
Oh
Happy Anniversary
To the things I thought would break me down
Happy Anniversary
Happy Anniversary now

Happy Anniversary
To the things I thought would break me
Happy Anniversary
To the things I thought would break me
Healing is so bittersweet
Happy Anniversary
