Hurt

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/j/johnny-cash-lyrics/hurt-lyrics.html ]

Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

- Hurt.

I love the Johnny Cash version.

The Johnny Cash version is the BEST version. It makes me cry everyt ime I hear it. Best thing NIN ever did was getting him to cover that song, it's like his life story, he sings it with such emotion.

Love you so much, take care, ok?
