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 hold 
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
