Healing
Kaylee Rose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
′Til it comes pouring out
Someone brings his name up
My walls all come crashing down
Take two steps back, then take three forward
It's taking longer than it should
This heartbreak is all out of order
But it′s all good
I'm learning, I'm grieving, I′m hurting
I′m keeping my head above water and drowning my feelings
I'm up, and I′m down, so sure of myself
'Til I doubt just about everything
And I′m picking up pieces, I'm slowly believing
I can still miss him and know I don′t need him
'Cause moving on don't happen in a straight line
It′s uneven, I′m healing
I'm finding out losing him
Meant finding a part of me
That I didn′t know was there
And she's all I need
While I′m learning, I'm grieving, I′m hurting
I'm keeping my head above water and drowning my feelings
I'm up, and I′m down, so sure of myself
′Til I doubt just about everything
And I'm picking up pieces, I′m slowly believing
I can still miss him and know I don't need him
′Cause moving on don't happen in a straight line
It′s uneven, I'm healing, healing
I'm healing, healing
I take two steps back, then take three forward
It′s taking longer than I wanted to
But I′m gonna get there soon
'Cause I′m learning, grieving, hurting
Keeping my head above water and drowning my feelings
Up and I'm down, so sure of myself
′Til I doubt just about everything
And I'm picking up pieces, I′m slowly believing
I can still love him and know I don't need him
'Cause moving on don′t happen in a straight line
It′s uneven
I'm healing, healing
I′m healing, healing
I'm healing, healing
The lyrics of Kaylee Rose's song "Healing" explore the process of healing after a heartbreak. The first verse describes the singer's tendency to keep their emotions bottled up until they eventually explode. The mention of someone bringing up the name of the person they are trying to move on from causes their emotional walls to come crashing down. Despite this setback, they acknowledge that healing may be a slow and nonlinear process but ultimately believe that everything will be fine.
The second verse delves deeper into the emotional turmoil the singer is experiencing. They express that they are learning, grieving, and hurting, trying to keep their head above water while simultaneously drowning in their emotions. They admit to having moments of self-assurance but quickly doubting themselves. However, they are gradually picking up the pieces and starting to believe that they can still miss their former lover but understand that they don't need them anymore. The singer emphasizes that moving on is an uneven journey, far from a straight line, but they are in the process of healing.
The third verse reveals a powerful realization that losing the person they cared for actually led the singer to discover a part of themselves that they didn't know existed. They have found a newfound sense of self-reliance and inner strength in this process. The singer acknowledges that this newly discovered part of themselves is all they need.
The repeated chorus reinforces the theme of the song, emphasizing the ongoing journey of healing. They continue to describe the ups and downs they experience, expressing their determination and confidence that they will eventually reach a place of healing. The ending of the song reaffirms the singer's belief that they are in the process of healing, regardless of how long it may take or how uneven the journey may be.

Oh dear, much awaited song. Kaylee being underrated is kinda ambivalent for me,cause this songs so good and I want it to be a little secret. On the other hand Kaylee deserves a lot of recognition so that she won't stop creating such a masterpiece

Beautiful song. I'm at the "I know I can still miss him but I don't need him" however still missing the good times. His narcissistic mind games totally drained me mentally and my anxiety 100% affect my life in every way, even daily tasks hard to do.
I never felt this miserable in my life before. I don't know when will I finally feel good and healed and happy again. It is very draining.
However this song does help me to realise it is ok to miss him but it will pass over time 😊😊😊 Thank you, I love your music! 😊❤
