This song has the most meaningful lyrics ever written. It sends shivers up my spine everytime I read it. The song is great too.

RIP Johnny Cash!

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
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 stain of time
The feeling disappears
You are someone else
I am still right here

What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
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

:cry: I feel like crying right now.

You do know that this is a cover version of a NIN song?

If not, I just wanted to let you know that. It's a great song really.

The orginal version of Hurt is off the Downward Spiral album by Nine Inch Nails.

It might be. ^_^ Well, lets credit both NIN and Johnny Cash then. :P

I just wanted to let you know. I'm a Huge Nine Inch Nails fan. Don't worry though, I'm not angry at you, there's no need to be angry over a little thing.

I know you're not mad at me. I like NIN too. Well, at least I like the songs I've heard from them.

:cry: RIP johnny indeed!! me and my friend Paul who's in my band always bring the music for our art class to listen to, and the week he died, we played nothing but Johnny Cash. And no matter who wrote that song, it's absolutely beautiful! I'm a NIN fan too. :yes:
