Hurt By My Healing
Hurt By My Healing is a gentle, groove-led reflection on the emotional cost of choosing peace. Written in the aftermath of difficult conversations, the song explores the painful paradox of growing apart from someone you love. Jack’s tender vocal weaves through layered harmonies, acoustic textures and ambient synths, creating a warm, spacious soundscape that shimmers like sunlight on water. Honest, vulnerable, and quietly powerful, it’s a song for anyone who’s ever been misunderstood for trying to heal.

Lyrics
I never meant to close the door
I just needed space to breathe
You were looking for forever
But I was barely finding me
I didn't run, didn't hide
I just stepped out of the noise
Silence turned to sorrow
And you say I started war
I’m sorry that you’re hurt
Hurt by my healing
I’m sorry my peace feels like pain
I’m sorry that you’re hurt
Didn’t mean to leave you reeling
Just tryna find my way again
Didn’t change to be unkind
Tryin’ to find what’s mine
I needed space to make a start
I’m sorry that you’re hurt
Hurt by my healing
I’m sorry my peace feels like pain
You say the trust is broken
It’s all been rearranged
But I can't keep pretending
That growth and love can't live with change
I still care, that hasn't gone
I had to let some things fall through
So I could stand back up
Without the weight of me and you
I’m sorry that you’re hurt
Hurt by my healing
I’m sorry my peace feels like pain
I’m sorry that you’re hurt
Didn’t mean to leave you reeling
Just tryna find my way again
Didn’t change to be unkind
Tryin’ to find what’s mine
I needed space to make a start
I’m sorry that you’re hurt
Hurt by my healing
I’m sorry my peace feels like pain
Maybe someday you'll understand
You’ll hold your own hand
Maybe then you’ll forgive me
And let me go with love
I’m sorry that you’re hurt
Hurt by my healing
I’m sorry my peace feels like pain
I’m sorry that you’re hurt
Didn’t mean to leave you reeling
Just tryna find my way again
I didn’t change to be unkind
Tryin’ to find what’s mine
I needed space to make a start
I’m sorry that you’re hurt
Hurt by my healing
I’m sorry my peace feels like pain
