Hurt

• Johnny Cash
• The Legend Of Johnny Cash

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 liars 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

If I could start again, a million miles away

I would keep myself, I would find a way
