Slower To Heal

Rihanna · Other Songs - Rihanna

Overnight oh

Overnight oh



I wish the pain would go away

I wish they'd find a cure today

I asked the doctor what it means

He says things ain't as bad as what they seem



My heart is working over time

To me it's broke inside

And this heart it needs to see the light

Cause I'm stuck

At least that's what it feels like



I'm slower to heal

Slower to heal

Don't wanna feel the way I feel

Wish I could kill this pain that I feel

But it don't happen that way, at all

It's not gon happen overnight, overnight, overnight

I won't get better overnight, overnight, overnight

It's not gon happen overnight, overnight, overnight

I won't get better overnight, overnight, overnight

So I'm slower to heal



It's like I'm in a traffic jam

Need to put out a good exam

I'm like a newly penitry

I wish you could find it in yourself

To be patient with me



I'm slower to heal

Slower to heal

Don't wanna feel the way I feel

Wish I could kill this pain that I feel

But it don't happen that way, never

It's not gon happen overnight, overnight, overnight

I won't get better overnight, overnight, overnight

It's not gon happen overnight, overnight, overnight

I won't get better overnight, overnight, overnight



I'm slower to heal

Slower to heal

Don't wanna feel the way I feel

Wish I could kill this pain that I feel

But it don't happen that way, never

[x2]



It's not gon happen overnight, overnight, overnight

I won't get better overnight, overnight, overnight

It's not gon happen overnight, overnight, overnight

I won't get better overnight, overnight, overnight

Slower To Heal

Released as a single from Rihanna's 2012 album Unapologetic, "Slower To Heal" stands as a poignant exploration of emotional vulnerability and the complexities of moving on from a relationship. The track features a stripped-back production style that emphasizes the raw, confessional lyrics delivered by Rihanna, capturing the quiet ache of healing rather than the dramatic outbursts typical of her earlier work. As part of the album's broader narrative on self-empowerment and personal growth, the song reflects a matured artistic voice, blending R&B sensibilities with a focus on intimate storytelling. Its inclusion in the catalogue highlights Rihanna's ability to balance commercial appeal with genuine emotional depth during this pivotal era of her career.
