Hurt - Johnny Cash

I  hurt myself todayTo see if I still feelI focus on the painThe only thing that's real

The needle tears a holeThe old familiar stingTry to kill it all awayBut I remember everything

What have I become, my sweetest friend?Everyone I know goes awayIn the end

And you could have it allMy empire of dirtI will let you downI will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thornsUpon my liar's chairFull of broken thoughtsI cannot repair

Beneath the stains of timeThe feelings disappearYou are someone elseI am still right here

What have I become, my sweetest friend?Everyone I know goes awayIn the end

And you could have it allMy empire of dirtI will let you downI will make you hurt

If I could start againA million miles awayI would keep myself

I would find a way
