A cover song of Johnny Cash's 2002 rendition of "Hurt"

(First Verse)

I hurt myself today

To see if I still feel

I focus on the pain

That only thing that's real

The needle tears a hole

The old familiar sting

I 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


(Second verse)

I wear this crown of shit

Upon my liar's chair

So full of broken thoughts

That I cannot repair

Beneath the stains of time

The feelings disappear

While you are someone else

You know that I am still right here


(Chorus)

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

You know that I will make you hurt

If I could start again

A million miles away

I would keep myself

I would find a way
