Hurt…

Lyrics from Johnny Cash‘s song ‘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
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

Isn’t the song great?
