Johnny Cash - '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 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,


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 will keep myself,
I would find a way,
