Foreman, Jon - The Cure For Pain Lyrics






I'm not sure why it always goes downhill
Why broken cisterns never could stay filled
I've spent ten years singing gravity away
But the water keeps on falling from the sky

And here tonight while the stars are blacking out
With every hope and dream I've ever had in doubt
I've spent ten years trying to sing these doubts away
But the water keeps on falling from my eyes

And heaven knows... heaven knows
I tried to find a cure for the pain
Oh my Lord, to suffer like you do...
It would be a lie to run away

So blood is fire pulsing through our veins
We're either riders, or fools behind the reins
I've spent ten years trying to sing it all away
But the water keeps on falling from my tries

And heaven knows... heaven knows
I tried to find a cure for the pain
Oh my Lord, to suffer like you do...
It would be a lie to run away
A lie to run
It would be a lie
It would be a lie to run away

It keeps on falling
It keeps on falling
It keeps on falling
It keeps on falling
The water keeps on falling from my eyes

And heaven knows... heaven knows
I tried to find a cure for the pain
Oh my Lord, to suffer like you do...
It would be a lie to run away
It would be a lie to run away
It would be a lie to run away

    I'm not sure why it always goes downhill
    Why broken cisterns never could stay filled
    I've spent ten years singing gravity away
    But the water keeps on falling from the sky
    And here tonight while the stars are blacking out
    With every hope and dream I've ever had in doubt
    I've spent ten years trying to sing these doubts away
    But the water keeps on falling from my eyes
    And heaven knows... heaven knows
    I tried to find a cure for the pain
    Oh my Lord, to suffer like you do...
    It would be a lie to run away
    So blood is fire pulsing through our veins
    We're either riders, or fools behind the reins
    I've spent ten years trying to sing it all away
    But the water keeps on falling from my tries
    And heaven knows... heaven knows
    I tried to find a cure for the pain
    Oh my Lord, to suffer like you do...
    It would be a lie to run away
    A lie to run
    It would be a lie
    It would be a lie to run away
    It keeps on falling
    It keeps on falling
    It keeps on falling
    It keeps on falling
    The water keeps on falling from my eyes
    And heaven knows... heaven knows
    I tried to find a cure for the pain
    Oh my Lord, to suffer like you do...
    It would be a lie to run away
    It would be a lie to run away
    It would be a lie to run away

    I'm not sure why it always goes downhill

    I've spent ten years singing gravity away

    And here tonight while the stars are blacking out
    With every hope and dream I've ever had in doubt
    I've spent ten years trying to sing these doubts away

    And heaven knows... heaven knows
    I tried to find a cure for the pain
    Oh my Lord, to suffer like you do...

    And heaven knows... heaven knows
    I tried to find a cure for the pain
    Oh my Lord, to suffer like you do...
    It would be a lie to run away
    A lie to run
    It would be a lie
    It would be a lie to run away

    It keeps on falling
    It keeps on falling
    It keeps on falling
    It keeps on falling
    The water keeps on falling from my eyes

    And heaven knows... heaven knows
    I tried to find a cure for the pain
    Oh my Lord, to suffer like you do...
    It would be a lie to run away
    It would be a lie to run away
    It would be a lie to run away

    This song I listen to for 2 years straight. As I was going through counseling and starting the grief and loss process of my parents divorce and my chronic anxiety I struggled with. This is one of the LIFE SONGS that will be part of my LIFE soundtrack/testimonal.

  11. D.... M....

    Lovely song! <3

  17. R.... A....

    Que canção, meu sonho escutar isso em uma praia a noite , com uma fogueira sentindo o vento no rosto

  18. H.... L....

    Found this song on 31st dec 2017.. 20:54 hrs...moonlight.. can't be more apt.. so happy😊

  19. J.... H....

    Jon,
    ......i'm a loss for words to express my thanks to Our Father who has His kids writing His words with music to better understand our journey and His incredible Love for us!
    prayers and safety to you, family and band mates!
    Keep it coming my friend

    J.... H....

    well said!.

  20. J.... B....

    I think I already said something for Jon in this video... But just to be sure... Jon, you inspire me everytime I listen your songs... See it's possible to have good music and beautiful music at the same time... I thank God for your life and ministry... Pray He keep blessing your life... Thank you!

  21. A.... A....

    Is this a suicide song, isn't it?

    A.... A....

    Not when you listen closer. It's saying that Jesus put so much suffering in for our freedom, that any form of running away or retreating would be a shame.

  22. A.... ....

    Spent hours searching for this song, remembered listening to it a few years ago, had nothing to go on but the album cover. Searched for album covers with trees on them and somehow found it. I'm so glad I did and it was worth the hours it took, this song takes me to another place.

    A.... ....

    Glad you found it, it happened to me once but I didn't found the song.

  23. K.... M....

    I had never felt identified with a song until now

  24. Z.... ....

    this song has one of the most beautiful voices i´ve ever heard

  25. g.... v....

    soulful

  26. D.... I....

    Omg...I love this song...ty.

  27. L.... C....

    💜💜💜

  28. D.... H....

    I love how John can get that balance of mainstream music with Chistian messages when he's the lead singer of Switchfoot, but then can fearlessly present himslef as the amazing Christian solo writer he is. Keep it up Jon, your music really is a gift from God :)

    D.... H....

    couldn't agree more.

  29. t.... a....

    As a Christian who suffers from depression, this song has been the one that speaks to me the most.

    t.... a....

    God knows your struggles, and He underswtand them, even though the rest of ppl don´t. don´t desmay, He is by your side. He lives you as you are. i know how depression is, i had it. i´ll keep praying for you, read the bible, i assure you, you will starting to heal, slowly, but God will finish His work and purpose in you.

    t.... a....

    tod asil awsome.!!!!

    t.... a....

    @ZOE beautiful words

    t.... a....

    I know this is late.. but I hope you're doing better...

    t.... a....

    I Know its 2 years later, but i hope youre much better, anything you need, speak to me... Youre loved by God

    Sueli Ferreira essa música é sensacional e linda. define meu momento

  34. B.... B....

    Sometimes we need to face our pain and troubles head on and not run away, just as Jesus did. "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart." ~Hebrews 12:1-3

    B.... B....

    Yes!! That was encouraging this morning. Thanks for sharing!

    B.... B....

    True, I've heard hardship is the pathway to peace. But going through...there are no words to describe the loneliness, sometime hopeless feeling. Even with the armor on, sometimes all we can do is stand firm and persevere. Trusting that He will eventually deliver us because that IS faith in the Word. "In quietness and trust is your strength..." Even so, it's extremely difficult. My heart goes out to all those in that place. I'm there. Eventually though, the fog will lift. God is Sovereign and He is good! And He will get the glory.

    B.... B....

    Jason Seibert Your not alone. I know my daughter is going through the same thing. Believing for a total healing in her body and grace to make it through college. There is a inner strength in her that I know only God has given her. Where can we go except to God. He has your back and he loves you very much!

  35. t.... s....

    Thank you Jesus.

    Hey Jon! I know you will probably never read this, but I just wanted to thank you for all you've given through your life and music. I started listening to Switchfoot at 16, have so many great memories of the songs from Beautiful Letdown. Saw you guys live in Vancouver 2004. Now at 28, here I am listening to more great music you've made. It's been a comfort to me through a really tough time in my life. Thank you, you are appreciated!
