When I left, I left walking wounded
I made my escape from the rain
Still a prisoner of hurt, I had months worth of work
Just freeing my mind of the pain
I had hours of sitting alone in the dark
Listenin' to sad songs and coming apart
Lord knows I made crying an art
Woe is a slow healing heart

A slow healing heart dying to mend
Longin' for love, lonely again
But when the 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
But there's a part of my feelings ever on guard
Against looks that are tender and words that are hard
'Cause I still remember those cutting remarks
Oh it's painful, a slow healing heart

A slow healing heart dying to mend
Longin' for love, lonely again
But 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
