Hurt~~~~~ By Johnny Cash

[shewalks2worlds]

I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel.
I focused on the pain,
the only thing that's real.
The needle tears a hole,
the old familiar stain.
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.
