Slow Healing Heart Lyrics

When I left, I left walkin' wounded And made my escape from the rain Still a prisoner of hurt
I had months worth the work Freein' my mind of the pain I had hours to sit alone in the dark
Listenin' to sad songs and comin' apart Lord knows I made cryin' an art We give a slow healing heart
Slow healing heart, dyin' to mend It's longing for love lonely again When a spirit is broken and the memories start Nothing moves slower than a slow healing heart
How I prayed for blind faith to lead me To places where I'm not afraid Now I'm doing fine Both in body and mind
Some hurts take longer to fade There's a part of my feelings Ever on guard against looks that are tender
Words that are hard I still remember those cutting remarks We give a slow healing heart
A slow healing heart is dying to mend Longing for love lonely again When the spirit is broken and the memories start Nothing moves slower than a slow healing heart Nothing moves slower than a slow healing heart
