The Cure for the Pain Songtext

von Gretchen Peters

Damn this lump in my throat
Damn this hole in my coat
Damn this rain that just won't quit
Damn the sorry waste of it

Damn the truth, and damn these lies
Damn that look behind your eyes
Damn this day, damn this night
Goddamn this losing fight

There ain't no boat, there ain't no train
To take us back the way we came
Ain't no shelter from this hard rain
The cure for the pain is the pain
The cure for the pain is the pain

It's not like you think it's gonna be
Not like the movies that you see
Ain't no soaring violins
Just machines and medicines

So bless these pills, bless these sheets
Bless this food that you can't eat
Bless the damned who walk these halls
And god have mercy on us all

There ain't no drug, there ain't no cure
To make it like it was before
Ain't no shelter from this hard rain
The cure for the pain is the pain
The cure for the pain is the pain
