Slower To Heal Lyrics - Rihanna

1 Overnight oh, Overnight oh

2 Verse 1:

3 I wish the pain would go away

4 I wish they'd find a cure today

5 I asked the doctor what it means

6 He said "Things ain't as bad as what they seem."

7 My heart is working overtime to mend what's broke inside

8 And it's hard for me to see the light

9 Cause I'm stuck

10 At least that's what it feels like

11 I'm slower to heal

12 Slower to heal

13 Don't wanna feel the way I feel

14 (Don't wanna feel)

15 I wish I could kill this pain that I feel

16 (Right away)

17 But it don't happen that way, never

18 It's not gone happen overnight, overnight, overnight

19 I won't get better overnight, overnight, overnight

20 It's not gone happen overnight, overnight, overnight

21 I won't get better overnight, overnight, overnight

22 So I'm slower to heal

23 Verse 2:

24 It's like I'm in a traffic jam

25 (A traffic jam)

26 Being pulled out of quicksand

27 (Outta quicksand)

28 It's like a newly planted tree

29 I wish that you could find it in yourself to be patient with me

30 I'm slower to heal

31 Slower to heal

32 Don't wanna feel the way I feel

33 (Don't wanna feel)

34 I wish I could kill this pain that I feel

35 (Right away)

36 But it don't happen that way, never

37 It's not gone happen overnight, overnight, overnight

38 I won't get better overnight, overnight, overnight

39 It's not gone happen overnight, overnight, overnight

40 I won't get better overnight, overnight, overnight

41 I'm slower to heal

42 Slower to heal

43 Don't wanna feel the way I feel

44 (Don't wanna feel)

45 I wish I could kill this pain that I feel

46 (Right away)

47 But it don't happen that way, never

48 I'm slower to heal

49 Slower to heal

50 Don't wanna feel the way I feel

51 (Don't wanna feel)

52 I wish I could kill this pain that I feel

53 (Right away)

54 But it don't happen that way, never

55 It's not gone happen overnight, overnight, overnight

56 I won't get better overnight, overnight, overnight

57 It's not gone happen overnight, overnight, overnight

58 I won't get better overnight, overnight, overnight

59 It's not gone happen overnight, overnight, overnight

60 I won't get better overnight, overnight, overnight

61 It's not gone happen overnight, overnight, overnight

62 I won't get better overnight, overnight, overnight

63 So I'm slower to heal
