Johnny Cash - Hurt + Lyrics


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

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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

  • You know it just makes me sick to my stomach to know that band Nine Inch Nails covered this song without Johnny Cash's permission. Immoral bands like Nine Inch Nails should never do covers of music written by a god fearing man such as Johnny Cash. This is the lord's music. Not devil music. Yall can spam my channel as much as you want to and post all the negative comments you want, but ain't nothing going to change the fact that what Trent Reznor did was wrong. Plain and simple. Leave me alone.

  • In 2012!

  • Thumbs up if your listening to this in 2011!!!

  • im in love with this song/...it's so powerful, so meaningful so true!! probably in the best 20 songs ever made!

  • This song was originally sung by Trent Reznor and Cash made this cover of it. Reznor heard the cover and dedicated the song to Cash.

  • damn it, i cry every time i hear this
