Hurt...

 

(Music: Johnny Cash ~ Hurt ~ written by Trent Resnor)

 

 

 

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.

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.
